Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2016 Subaru Outback Towing 2013 Quicksilver Livin Lite 6.0
Question:
I need a hitch that I can install myself without drilling for my 2016 outback, to pull a 2013 livin lite quick silver 6.0 popup camper tent. I also would need the wire kit for my car. What do you recommend?

For a hitch that won't require drilling, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13410. This hitch bolts on behind the rear bumper beam on your 2016 Subaru Outback. It features a gloss black powder coat finish, concealed cross tube, and a limited lifetime warranty.
For the most reliable wiring, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118467. This plugs into the connection points in your rear cargo area. Once installed you will have a 4-way to power your trailer's signal lights.
If you don't already have a ball mount, check out the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900. This kit has two ball mounts, one with a 3/4" rise or 2" drop and the other with a 2-3/4" rise or 4" drop. It also comes with a 1-7/8" and 2" ball, as well as a ball mount bag to store everything in.
I have attached some installation videos below for your reference.
