Where Should Trailer Wiring Store that is Installed on 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon

Question:

Is there a wire harness that will install next to the hitch instead of the loose cord? Something to make it look more like an OEM option that is next to the hitch ready to go.

I do have an option I can give you to mount a trailer wiring bracket near the hitch opening of the EcoHitch # 306-X7601 on your 2019 Subaru Outback for when you install the Tekonsha 4-way part # 118467, but having the trailer wiring store inside the rear compartment of the vehicle is actually a really safe and preferred method since it keeps the harness out of harms way and prevents corrosion that is very common on trailer wiring that is stored outside. Plus overall I think it looks better when not towing as well since it's totally out of plainsight.

The easiest outside bracket solution would be with the part # 18144 which you'd use the included self-tapping screws to attach to the rear bumper of the vehicle. This will also require you to find a grommet in the trunk floor of your vehicle to route the 4-way through as well which may or may not be present.
