For your 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander we have the Curt Class III hitch part # C13398 as a confirmed fit. This is a 2 inch hitch with plenty of towing capacity. Then for trailer wiring I recommend the Tekonsha kit part # 118482 because the converter box that comes with it is very reliable and the install is very easy without requiring splicing.

Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

I have a solution for you, but the Curt #C13079 is only a confirmed fit on the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport models. Instead, you'll want to use the Curt #C13163, which is confirmed for the Outlander (non-Sport and non- Plug-in Hybrid vehicles).…

I have a way you can carry a bike rack with your 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV but there aren't any hitches that fit the PHEV models like what you have. So instead your best option is a trunk mounted bike rack like the Yakima Fullback 2 bike…

Answer 6

As long as your Outlander isn't the plug in hybrid (PHEV), I'd recommend the #118482 for vehicles without the factory tow package or #118277 for vehicles with the tow package. If your vehicle has the tow package, it will have the tow package…

Answer 8

The PHEV models of the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander are hybrid models. Most likely if you are unsure if you have one or not you would not. If you were looking for a trailer hitch you would want the part #C13163 if you do not have a PHEV or if you did…

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…

I've never heard of an actual third brake light connector on a camper shell to plug in on a truck and we don't carry any parts to do that. The light generally needs to be hardwired into the truck's brake light circuit. The issue with this…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
