Yes, you will have no issues using the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes item # SH22G with the 2" receiver on your 2022 Subaru Outback. This bike rack can carrier two bikes with a capacity of 40 lbs per bike. The rake itself weighs 41 lbs so your total tongue weight would be no more than 121 lbs. This rack would not be over capacity for your Outback's hitch.
