Expert Reply:

For your 2010 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11315, that you have referenced, because it has a slightly lower install difficulty than the other available hitches. We base install difficulty on how long it takes to install a hitch and the Curt hitch is a 5 out of 10. This means for a novice it should take about 50 minutes to install the hitch.

This is a Class I trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening capable of 200 pounds tongue weight capacity and 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight. This recommended ball mount is # C45521 with pin and clip # F-4.

If you plan on doing some towing, to complete your towing set up, you would just need to add a hitch ball and wiring. For a hitch ball, you can use # 19256 (1-7/8 inch diameter) or # 19258 (2 inch diameter). For wiring, you will need 4 Pole Harness and Hardwire Kit, # C59496. I have included a link to the installation details below for the hitch and wiring below. For all non-trailer loads like bike racks or cargo carriers, you will need to use a Curt Bike Rack Strap with Cambuckle, # 18050, per Curt Warranty requirements.
