Not really but it depends on your skill level. The hardest part of installing the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C87WR is going to be loosening the rubber pieces that attach the mufflers to the hangers. Other than that you'll just need a socket set to bolt the hitch on. The hitch weighs 29 lbs so you'll want to have someone help you hold it up while you install the bolts.
I have linked the instructions below so you can take a look at them and see if this is something you are comfortable tackling on your own.
The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C87WR is custom fit for the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander. It bolts to your vehicle with included hardware.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C43WR and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
I 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.
