Expert Reply:
All of the available trailer hitches for the 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport will have the cross tube and the receiver visible beneath the rear bumper of the vehicle. I have included a link to the installation instructions for Curt hitch # C13079. It contains some good pictures that will show you what the hitch will look like once installed. The round tube design tends to blend more with the vehicle.
If you plan on doing some towing, I recommend etrailer Ball Mount kit, # 989900, which comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. For trailer wiring, use # 118538. I have included a link to the instructions for the wiring harness for you to view.
