Yes, I can help you make sure you get the parts needed to install a 7-way connector on your 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon. You will have to first start by installing a 4-way connector and then adapt that 4-way connector into a 7-way. This is the only way to get a 7-way connector, you can just jump straight to a 7-way.
The 4-way connector that I recommend is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118467. Once the 4-way is installed you will then use the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 to adapt the 4-way into a 7-way. You will also want to pick up the Curt No-Drill Bracket # C57202, this will give you a mounting point for the 7-way bracket in the # ETBC7 kit to mount your 7-way to your hitch.
If you are needing a brake controller you can use the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR. This will provide you with a proportional brake controller that doesn't have the bulk that most other controllers have, providing for a cleaner appearance in your Outback Wagon.
To round out your tow package you can pick up the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900 which will provide you with 2 different ball mounts, 2 different hitch balls, 2 pin and clips and a storage bag.
