Trailer Hitch and Step or Ball Mount for a 2010 Subaru Outback Wagon So People Wont Park Close
Question:
Currently, I have a 2010 Subaru Outback. I reside on a small block and get scrapes all the time from people trying to squeeze into tight spaces. I would like to get a hitch and attach a step-up bar just for people to not park close to my vehicle. Could you recommend the type of hitch I should get that would not be too expensive since I am not getting the hitch to necessarily pull something.

Expert Reply:
If your 2010 Subaru Outback is a Sport model with single exhaust the most cost effective hitch is # C11315. If it is not a Sport model then the most cost effective hitch is # C12290. For either of these hitches you could add an actual step if you wanted, # CR-605. Or you could just add a ball mount such as # C45572.
