How to Mount a Hopkins 4-Pole to 7-Pole Adapter to 2022 Subaru Outback
Question:
Can you suggest a good place to install the 7 pole plug on this car? Any metal seems to be covered by the plastic faring and only flush with plastic at connection points. Attaching to only plastic does not seem secure enough.

They did a really great job hiding the hitch receiver on your 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon. I looked at installation pictures and videos and you are correct there does not look to be a suitable mounting point for drilling into metal without removing trim pieces or cutting into them. I recommend using a mounting bracket to install your Hopkins 4 way to 7 pole adapter item # 37185. The Curt Easy Mount Bracket item # C58000 attaches directly to your 2" trailer hitch to make mounting your trailer connectors fast and easy. The bolt pattern on your Hopkins Harness will fit with this mounting bracket.
