Recommended Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack For 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon

Question:

I am looking at a hitch for my 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon. I am looking at the Ecohitch and Curt hitch. Is the Ecohitch worth the extra money is it really that much different? I want the most concealed hitch available. I would also like a bike rack for 2 bikes with carbon fiber frames.

I recommend to use the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer hitch part # EH34FR for the 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon because it will be a bit more concealed compared to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver hitch part # C67JR for the 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon. Although both options are concealed cross tube designs the Curt receiver does sit closer to the ground on the Outback compared to the EcoHitch.

For the bike rack to carry your 2 carbon fiber frame bikes, I recommend Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack part # NV22B which is designed to tilt away for easy rear cargo access on your 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon for a cold drink after a long bike ride on the trail. It is also a wheel mount bike rack so the bike rack does not touch the delicate frames of your bikes.
