Does Stealth Hitch for 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon Have Correct Height Ball for Rental Trailer

Question:

Hello! I will be renting a U-Haul trailer for an upcoming move. Ive never hauled a trailer before so this is all new to me. I watched the video on the Stealth Hitch installation for a Subaru Outback and the video shows that the top of the trailer ball is 18 inches. I also watched a U-Haul video that said U-Haul trailers are designed with a standard coupler height of approximately 18 inches. In the video you could see the bottom of the coupler was 18 inches. Ive attached a screen shot of that too. So, my question is this, is the Stealth hitch ball mount not tall enough? Which means I probably need another hitch with a ball mount rise? Thanks,

Thanks for all of the measurements and info you got me. So the great news is the ball mount portion of the Stealth Hitch part # 391SUOB20T you referenced is the exact perfect height since it measures right at 18 inches from top of ball down to ground when installed on a Outback like your 2020 model and since the coupler lip dimension of the trailer you plan to tow is exactly 18 inches. Some places measure from different places which can be confusing but based on the location that we measure you are totally fine.
