  • Can The Yakima EasyRider Trailer Support A Two-Person Tent And/Or A Thule Tent System?
  • The weight rating of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 is 350-lbs, however with your tent weighing 160-lbs, and your combined weight between the two of you being close to 280-lbs, you're going to be overloading the crossbars. Luckily, Yakima has already come up with a solution to fix this issue. Take a look at the: -SkyRise Tent Kit for Yakima EasyRider Trailer # Y08127 with the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent for Roof Rack Crossbars # Y07437; Or, you can use the Yakima EasyRider...

  • Recommended 2020 Subaru Outback Trailer Hitch Receiver and 7-Way Plug With Brake Controller
  • The easiest trailer hitch receiver installation is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # DT73RR for your 2020 Subaru Outback. It is the only option we have that doesn't require removing the bumper which is definitely more time and labor intensive. This will utilize holes already in your frame so no drilling is required. You will need to modify a heat shield and the entire installation will take approximately 40 minutes. The Curt T-Connector...

  • Can Thule Hullavator Install on Yakima Crossbars
  • The Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 can fit round bars by grabbing around the crossbar and can fit aero shaped bars if the bars have a channel on top of them. Which the Yakima aero shaped bars don't have top channels so to go the Yakima route will require round bars which includes the part numbers # Y00408, # Y53TR, # Y03536, and # Y00241 and you'd be set.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2024 Subaru Outback
  • Thanks for reaching out, Neely. We do offer hitches for the 2024 Subaru Outback, but a google search is not a reliable way to search out site for custom fit parts. So, the # 76227 hitch you mentioned will not fit a 2024 model, it will only fit the 2013-2019 models. Instead, I recommend the etrailer Class3 Hitch # e25TR. This has a 3,500 lb towing capacity and 350 lb tongue weight capacity, so it will definitely be adequate for pulling a small trailer. If you prefer the stealth hitch,...

  • Replacing Foam Bumper When Installing Curt Receiver #13410 On a 2019 Subaru Outback
  • The foam panel is in the bumper to help support the bumper panel as well as provide a cushion for the cover if there is a minor collision. Without the cushion the cover will tend to break or crack easier as it does not have the support needed. I have seen in some reviews that customers have had difficulties with installing the bumper cover and have chosen to leave it off. In every one of our installation videos we were able to attach the cover with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13410...

  • Best Ground Clearance for a Hitch Installed on a 2025 Subaru Outback Premium
  • Hey Nick congrats on the new car! The bottom portion of the receiver for the Curt item # C69VV sits 11-3/4" above the ground when installed on your 2025 Subaru Outback Premium. If you're worried about ground clearance, I recommend installing the Curt item # C67JR, which sits 13-1/2" off the ground. What are you looking to use a hitch for?

  • Will The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack System Fit a 2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness?
  • I'm sorry for the confusion Doug as this is a common issue with our fit guide with vehicles like your 2024 Subaru Outback. On the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MAL74AR you found we list both excluding Wilderness and Wilderness to say it will fit both you Wilderness and models which are not a Wilderness. We also have the wider 58" System # MAL84AR if you want a bar longer than the 50" bars in the system you found.

  • Do the Draw-Tite and Curt Trailer Hitches Require Drilling to Install on a 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • Both the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75673 and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13206 will require drilling to install on your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon. It is only a 1-1/8" access hole though so it is pretty minimal. The reason why we tend to recommend the Draw-Tite trailer hitches over the Curt trailer hitches is because on a good majority or their trailer hitches (including this one) they require that a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 be used to help secure all...

  • Differences Between Curt 13494 and 13437 Class III Hitches
  • There are differences. The differences lie in the fitment and capacities of each hitch. The Curt 13494 which we sell as part # C67JR fits the 2020-2022 Subaru Outback and 2020-2021 Subaru Legacy models of the same model years. The hitch has a 3500 lb towing/350 lb tongue weight rating. The Curt 13437 which we offered as # CU89FR has recently been discontinued and is therefore no longer available. It fit the same vehicles as the # C67JR, but was also a fit for the 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness....

  • Best 4-Way Trailer Wiring Kit for 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • The best trailer wiring kit we offer for your 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon is the Curt trailer wiring harness part # C56040 as it installs very easily and has the highest amperage rated converter box which allows it to be the most resistant to internal issues caused by trailer wiring shorts. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check, but basically it plugs into an easy to find port at the rear of the vehicle and you are ready to go! The attached picture shows where you'll...

  • How To Use Thule Hullavator On 2020 Subaru Outback
  • The factory crossbars on a 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon won't work with the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier part # TH898. They would need to be replaced in favor of the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar System part # TH711220, part # TH460R, and part # THKIT4063. This would be a great setup to then use the Thule Hullavator.

  • Recommendations for 2014 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited Towing a 5x8 Hiker Highway Deluxe Trailer
  • Trailer Brakes are not required on most trailers under 3,000 lbs unless otherwise stated by the local authorities. This should not be an issue with safety behind your 2014 Subaru Outback, but you can add them if desired. I would just need you to pull a hub and let me know the number on the grease seal and the face of the 2 bearings in that hub. With that info I can get you the parts needed for the upgrade. The bigger issue with a trailer this size and weight is sway caused by wind...

  • Class III Trailer Hitch for 2016 Subaru Outback that Does Not Require Drilling
  • I do have a 2 inch hitch that is a no-drill installation for your 2016 Subaru Outback. It is the Curt # C13410. These hitches are getting very popular with Subaru owners. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. Although the instructions for Class III trailer hitches such as # 75673 for your 2016 Subaru Outback state that an access hole will need to be drilled it is possible to avoid that if you can access the inside of the frame another way. In this case it means...

  • What Trailer Wiring is Needed for 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • Hey Ryan, so I looked up the Aliner LXE and it doesn't look like a trailer that would have brakes so most likely all you need is a 4-way confirmed as a fit for your 2024 Subaru Outback XT like the Tekonsha part # 118467 which installs pretty easily. 4-way trailer wiring basically controls all of the taillight functions on a trailer but nothing else If instead the trailer DOES have brakes you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way with the part # ETBC7 so that you can install a brake...

  • Installing a 7-way Trailer Connector on a 2018 Subaru Outback
  • We do have what you need to add a 7-way trailer connector to your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon but there isn't a specific custom harness that fits. If right now the Outback has no trailer wiring at all the easiest way to add a 7-way is to start with a plug and play 4-way and then convert it. I recommend using the Tekonsha, part # 118467, for the 4-way. It plugs in to a connector that's either behind a trim panel in the rear cargo area on the driver's side or in the spare tire compartment....
