Hitch for 2011 Subaru Outback Wagon with Best Ground Clearance
Question:
This hitch was recommended for my 2011 Outback but based on the configuration I would like to know where and how to mount the wiring mount for my wiring harness plug? Since the receiver protrudes below the crossbar which is essentially inside the bumper what would you suggest as I do not want the wire coming out of the hatch? If you have a photo that would be very helpful. Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
For your 2011 Subaru Outback Wagon the best hitch for ground clearance is the Curt # C13410 which fits very tightly to the rear bumper of the vehicle but also doesn't have a crosstube that hangs below the bumper either which helps with ground clearance on uneven terrain as the only thing that hangs down is right in the middle. This has 1/2 inch better ground clearance than the Draw Tite that also fits.
I attached a picture of what it looks like installed as well as an install video for you to check out.
