Question:

Is the #75673 trailer hitch compatible with the 2014 3.6R Subaru Outback? It appears that the applications on the website are for the 2.5 Outback with the single exhaust instead of the 3.6Rs dual exhaust. My Outback also has the EyeSight Driver Assist, will this make any difference for the wiring harness ion?

Expert Reply:

The trailer hitch part # 75673 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit all models of the 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon as long as it's not a Sport model so it would work well on your 2014 3.6R Subaru Outback. This hitch will work just fine on vehicles with dual exhaust. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

For trailer wiring you would want the part # C56040.

Since it sounds like you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included to the right that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
