This fully welded steel hitch gives you a solid connection point for hauling and carrying gear. With a 3,500-lb maximum gross trailer weight and 350-lb tongue weight rating, it’s built for small campers, utility trailers, bike racks, and cargo carriers. The 2" x 2" receiver opening is the standard size for most hitch accessories, so your racks and towing gear will fit without adapters.
The sturdy steel construction is protected by a matte black powder coat over a base layer that resists rust and corrosion. The finish has a rugged, carbide-like look that hides scuffs, dirt, and dings better than glossy hitches. It’s designed to keep looking good even after miles of road grime and weather exposure.
This hitch bolts directly to the frame using the included hardware kit and clear instructions—no welding needed. Precision, robotic welding ensures everything lines up perfectly for a tight fit once installed. The concealed cross tube keeps the visible part of the hitch to just the receiver, giving you a clean, factory-style appearance under the bumper.
Once mounted, you can pair this Class III receiver with a ball mount, bike rack, or cargo carrier to make the most of your vehicle’s hauling potential. Whether you’re setting up for weekend towing or just need more space for equipment, this hitch gives you reliable strength and versatility every time you use it.

The new hitch looks great! I'm glad the videos were able to help you out to get it installed. Thank you for listing out what parts you used as well, that'll be helpful for others going through the same install.

That’s awesome feedback, and that’s a great tip on the deep well socket. It’s always that one tool you don’t have that slows things down a bit. Sounds like you handled it like a pro though, and getting it done in about 3 hours solo is a solid install time. And once it’s on there, that Outback setup is tough to beat. What are you planning to use the hitch for on your Outback?

After a year, the hitch is still solid and no problems with the car trim removal and reinstallation.

So glad to hear you're a fan of the design! It is nice being able to keep the bumper beam, for sure, especially on the new 2025 Subaru Outback Wagon. Thanks for sharing a photo of your handy work! Will you be using the hitch for a bike rack or cargo carrier?

Sounds like you were able to power through this install Stevie, and make it the perfect set up for you! The 3D-printed Subaru cover is a nice touch to really finish it off too :)

Wow! Sounds like a much better price for install than with the dealer. It also looks great and hidden like you mentioned.

Ive had this hitch for a year, and am still standing by my 5 star review. I use my subie for ski trips, and have driven through tons of salt and ice, and the hitch and all of its components have zero rust or wear. Extremely solid hitch. Insanely good value, highly recommend!

Thanks for the detailed review and all the helpful installation tips Harold! Your notes about the body panel retainers and muffler clearance will definitely help other customers planning this install. We also appreciate the suggestion about having extra retainers on hand since those clips can be stubborn during reassembly. The final install looks really clean on your Outback, and thanks for sharing the picture! What are you planning to use the hitch for most often?
