Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

  • Does etrailer Hitch for 2017 Subaru Outback Replace Impact Bar
    Hey Sidney, the etrailer hitch part # e42TR fits behind the rear impact bar and does not replace it. How come you are wanting to upgrade to a 2 inch hitch?

  • Does The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e42TR Include A Trailer Wiring Harness
    Hi Deon, No, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e42TR would not include the trailer wire harness. If you can tell me what the year/make/model of your vehicle is I'd be happy to confirm what would fit.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2019 Subaru Outback with Bike Rack
    There are really two main types of trailer hitches for a 2019 Subaru Outback, visible like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98847 and hidden like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e42TR. The visible hitch means you can see the cross tube under the bumper and the hidden means you can't. That said, there is a benefit to the visible as you don't have to pull the bumper off so it's much easier to install. If you're handy, the hidden option is what I recommend since you have...

  • Installation Difficulty of etrailer Trailer Hitch on 2019 Subaru Outback
    Thanks for the nice words, and on a scale of 1-10, the installation difficulty on your 2019 Subaru Outback is rated a 10 for the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e42TR. This is somewhat subjective, of course, and we have it as a higher rating basically because you have to remove and reinstall the bumper cover and bumper beam, and any time there is a hitch where a bumper removal is required, the difficulty scale is raised. That said, there isn't anything about the install that it requires...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2018 Subaru Outback
    The best hitch for your 2018 Subaru Outback is going to be the etrailer Hitch item # e42TR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Subaru with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 400 lbs maximum tongue weight so you will have plenty of capacity for a bike rack. I really like the etrailer hitch because of its hidden design. The crosstube will install behind the bumper leaving only the 2" receiver visible. This not only looks better but it also helps...

  • Will EcoHitch or Curt Hitch Have Better Clearance for 2012 Subaru Outback
    The information I have says the # 306-X7162 has a ground clearance measurement of 10-1/2". The Curt # C13410 has approximately 12" to 12-1/2" of clearance when measured to the bottom of the receiver. I'm not 100% sure how accurate the EcoHitch information is since we haven't measured it ourselves. Based on the installation and where the receiver position any difference in ground clearance appears to be negligible. The main difference between these two hitches is going to be the price....

  • Is There a Receiver Like the etrailer # e42TR With Additional Steel Connecting The Receiver to Tube?
    We do have the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7601 which uses more steel to connect the crossbar to the end of the receiver on your 2017 Subaru Outback. This receiver is also made in the USA and comes with a limited lifetime warranty like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e42TR.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2011 Subaru Outback
    That sounds pretty sketchy. Never heard of a conversion kit with bolts that will make a hitch fit a car it's not designed for. The hitch you were looking at Item # 306-X7267 only fits the 2015 - 2018 Subaru Outback so using different sized bolts isn't going to help when the holes don't line up. If this isn't what you have and would like to send me a part number so I can verify it'll fit you can either email me directly or post it in the comment box below. For a similar style hitch that...

  • Which etrailer Hitch Fits 2012 and 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon
    Hey Edward, so the etrailer hitch part # e25TR that you referenced only fits the 2024 Subaru Outback of the two vehicles you mentioned since vehicles change quite a bit over years and hitch fits only last for a few years. For the 2012 you'd want the part # e42TR instead. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

  • Parts Needed To Tow a Small Travel Trailer With Electric Brakes Behind a 2014 Subaru Outback
    It appears you have it figured out on your parts. My only alteration on the parts would be using the Curt Easy Mount Bracket # C58000 to attach 7-Way # ETBC7 rather than the Mounting Plate # 18136. This is due to having the hidden cross tube on etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e42TR and the Curt Bracket # C58000 will attach to the end of the receiver to hold the 7-way. Here is the list of parts I recommend with the other bracket. etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e42TR T-One Vehicle...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2019 Subaru Outback For Carrying Electric Scooter
    So for a hitch on your 2019 Subaru Outback to carry your electric scooter, what you want is one with as much tongue weight as possible (tongue weight being the most weight the scooter and carrier can weigh when installed in the hitch). Good bumper clearance is also important, as is ground clearance, and the best possible combination for that is the following hitch: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e42TR The # e42TR hitch fits your '19 Outback and has 600 lbs of tongue weight capacity,...

  • Instructions for etrailer Hitch e42TR for Subaru Outback
    Hey James, glad the hitch # e42TR got to you quickly! I attached a link to the install instructions on this page but you might try looking down the hitch tube as sometimes they get stuffed down in there and missed. Let me know if you need any other help!

  • Is the Flint Hill Goods Wheelchair Carrier Compatible w/ a 2017 Subaru Outback?
    Yes, they are if your 2017 Subaru Outback has a 2" hitch installed like item # e42TR. The Flint Hill Goods 30" x 50" Wheelchair Carrier item # FHG77ZR requires your vehicle to have a 2" receiver. It looks like the carrier weighs 80 lbs and your Permobil M3 weighs just below 400 lbs so you'll need a hitch with a tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs. The etrailer Hitch item # e42TR is custom fit for your 2017 Subaru Outback and has a 600 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like this hitch because...

  • Hitch Cargo Carrier and Cargo Bag Recommendation for a 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon
    Thanks for reaching out, Tony! I recommend going with the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # e98874 because it has both folding and tilting features to make it easier get into the back of your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon. Then for a bag, I really like the CargoSmart Cargo Bag # CS34FR since it's water resistant and comes with an easy strap system for securing the bag to the carrier. If your Outback Wagon doesn't already have a trailer hitch then I recommend the etrailer Trailer...
