With the 2012 Subaru Outback, the exhaust system is on your driver's side and is pointing downward, so just keep that in mind if you have any heat-sensitive material that you want to place it toward the middle or even the passenger side itself. When the cargo carrier is empty in this position, you can get in and out of your hatch, but we always want to give you the break point when you're loading up your cargo carrier that you may not want to go past. I'm looking at 22", so just keep that in mind when you're loading up your cargo carrier, that you go any higher than that, you won't be able to get in and out of your hatch. This cargo carrier is equipped for 2" hitches only, it does not come with the pin and clip, you can find those on our website, that Part # is PC3. more

Pro Series  Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon

Today on our 2014 Subaru Outback, we're going to be test fitting the 31 by 47 Pro Series Solo Cargo Carrier. This has been designed for use with 2 inch hitches and it offers a 400 pound weight capacity. Its part number is PS1040100. To begin our test fit, we need to slide the shank of the carrier into the receiver tube of our hitch. It's one of the larger carriers that we have, so using 2 people to install it is helpful. A way I've adopted of installing it, just with 1 person, is to stick the shank into the receiver tube, then pick up on the rear as you push in, and that should help you get it up in there where you need it if you're doing it by yourself. We then need to line up our pin holes. We'll then take a standard 5/8ths pin and slide that through. more
