Does Installing EcoHitch on 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon Affect the Back Up Sensors
Question:
I have a 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon, and was looking at the EcoHitch but am worried it will mess up the backup sensors. Does it have any effect on the way they act?

Expert Reply:
There's no reason to worry because the EcoHitch # EH34FR can install on your 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon and not have any affect on the back up sensors. The back up sensors are on the rear fascia, and the hitch installs behind the bumper bar so they won't interfere with each other.
If you need trailer wiring for your Outback I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118467. It gives you a 4 pole flat trailer connector to get all the lights back to your trailer. It's a simple plug in design and fits into a factory port in the back hatch. Subaru did change the location of the plug from previous years, the connector is on the driver's side under the threshold panel for your 2020 Outback wagon.
You can check out the linked parts and a video of the wiring being installed on a 2019 Outback wagon.
