Question:

I would like to know which hitch shows the least amount of itself once installed. It seems like some pictures show variances of how much of the hitch can be seen when looking at it. I want the best aesthetic look possible, the least amount of hitch seen. Like its part of the car not an extra chunk of metal added on. Some pics of the Curt seem to vary as to how tucked away they are. Thanks,

All of the hitches we offer for the 2012 Subaru Outback Wagon will have the crosstube and hitch opening visible from the rear. The biggest difference will be whether or not the crosstube is round or square. I think the round tubes stand out less than the square ones so I would think the Curt part # 13390 would be the one you would like most.

However, the Draw Tite # 75673 is a bit more recessed under the rear of the vehicle when installed so it would be a trade off.

I attached a video that compares all of the hitches available for your vehicle for you to check out as well for more info.
