Draw-Tite 2-inch hitch # 76227 is a confirmed fit on the 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon and for your reference I linked both the written instructions and an installation video showing a 2019 model year.

Hardware is not included with the hitch since it uses fasteners already on the car that will be removed and then re-installed.

No parts are included for cosmetic treatment of the fascia which does requires trimming for the installation. The instructions detail the trimming to be done with a color photo.
