The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2020 Subaru Outback is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C67JR. The Curt Trailer Hitch is a custom, bolt-on fit with no drilling required so there are no major permanent modifications needed. The etrailer Trailer Hitch has a hidden design so only the receiver tube will be present once installed which makes for the best look and gives the best ground clearance. I have attached a photo for you. The best part of all is that there are no special tools required so you can install this hitch by yourself at home in your driveway or garage.

If you will be towing a trailer then you will also need a trailer wiring harness. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118467 is what I recommend as it offers plug-in-play installation. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness has a 4-way trailer connector which will provide the basic trailer lighting functions. If your trailer has brakes then you need both a 7-way trailer connector and brake controller. I recommend 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation part # ETBC7L and the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 because there is again no splicing into the vehicle required.
