If you are looking for a 7-way harness for towing a trailer on your 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon, you will need the Universal 7-Way # ETBC7 in addition to your already-installed 4-way harness. This will give you the ability to add a brake controller.

To add a brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha Voyager # 39510 or the Curt Echo # C51180. Both of these controllers are proportional controllers which means that the controller activates the trailer brakes in proportion to your vehicle's braking action. The Voyager is more of a traditional-style controller than requires mounting into the dashboard of your vehicle near the steering wheel. There is also a plug-in harness that makes for the installation easier with # 20127. On the other hand, the Curt Echo allows you to control the settings of your controller with the ease of your Smart device.

If you need a hitch receiver for your vehicle, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e25TR. This hitch includes a hidden design that avoids any unsightly crosstubes on your vehicle. It also comes with an easy bolt-on installation with all hardware required. If you need a ball mount/ball, I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45534. Not only does this come with a 2-inch ball, but it also comes with a hitch cover and locking hitch pin.

As with all towing applications/hitches, I recommend confirming with your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure your vehicle can handle towing a heavy trailer that requires a brake controller.
