Question:

I have a 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon that I need to use to tow a small trailer, what should I get for a complete tow package?

First thing you'll need is a trailer hitch installed on your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon which for that I highly recommend the Draw Tite hitch part # 76227 as it is a 2 inch hitch with great towing capacities and is mostly hidden to give you a more concealed look. I attached a picture of this hitch installed on a 2019 Outback Wagon just like yours plus an install video for more info as well.

For trailer wiring the best option is the Tekonsha kit part # 118467 as it installs very easily and has a converter box that we have found is very reliable as well. This means the install is easy and painless and you will be much less likely to short the box out and have to replace it! I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

If 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.
