The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e25TR. I recommend this hitch as it has a hidden design which will look the best when installed, only the receiver will be present not the crosstube which is hidden. It doesn't have as high of a weight capacity as some of the other options but this won't really matter as it still exceeds the vehicle's capacity which is the limiting factor. It does not require any drilling for install which makes for a bolt-on fit.

If you'll be towing then you'll also need a few other items which I have listed for you below:

Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118467 (4-Way)
Curt Towing Starter Kit part # C45534
4 to 7-Way with 4-Way Adapter part # ETBC7L (7-Way)
Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180

Please note, in emergencies you can use the trailer hitch for vehicle recovery with a shackle like the Trimax Tow Strap Loop for 2" Hitches part # TMX82ZR.

The instructions for the Curt trailer wiring harness part #C97CR are a little unclear but basically the box does not get mounted inside the vehicle and instead mounts behind the bumper which you can see pointed out in step 7.
