Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Subaru Outback
Question:
I see you have a couple of options. What hitch do you recommend for a 2023 Subaru Outback? I'd like to install it myself.

Expert Reply:
For your 2023 Subaru Outback, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C69VV. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Subaru with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. I really like this hitch because it is an easy install and anyone with a basic set of tools and knowledge can install it in a short amount of time.
I have attached a couple of pictures below along with the instructions so you can see what this hitch looks like installed and how to do it.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56040 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
I also recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR to secure the 4-way connector to your hitch. This will put it in an easy to reach spot and prevent the risk of it falling onto the road.
