When we installed Draw-Tite 2-Inch hitch #75673 on a 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon we measured the height of the top of the receiver opening as 15-inches above ground. You can see this dimension illustrated in the linked video at the 1:40-minute mark.…

The Draw Tite Hitch part #75673 is a carry over from the 2017 Subaru Outback to the 2018 model. Draw Tite was able to get their hands on this vehicle very early to test fit and confirm the fit. I attached an installed picture for you to check out as…

The Draw-Tite part #75673 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Subaru Outback and has a 600 lb tongue weight rating so IT has enough capacity for towing your trailer, but if the vehicle ends up having a lower tongue weight…

Installation of the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver #e25TR does require temporary removal of the bumper/fascia. Once removed, the hitch bolts into place behind the bumper beam. The hitch features a matte black powder coat finish, a limited lifetime…

We do have what you need to add a 7-way trailer connector to your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon but there isn't a specific custom harness that fits. If right now the Outback has no trailer wiring at all the easiest way to add a 7-way is to start with…

According to my research, your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon has a max towing capacity of 1,000 lbs if the trailer does not have brakes or 2,700 lbs if the trailer does have brakes. You can improve the towing performance/efficiency of your vehicle with a…

The Curt Echo #C51180 does require a 30 amp fuse, so that will definitely fix that issue. This is used fairly often and this does happen, but I cannot say if this will be bad for the vehicle or not. However, if a Subaru dealer said not to do it and…
