Question:
Im missing the benefit of 1 harness over the other. I see the C56040 has a ground tap screw. For my Outback with rear sensors, will either work? Is one easier to work with, regarding size, placement, bulkiness of modules or connectors? Thanks. 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector 118467 -or- 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector C56040

Expert Reply:
For your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon both the Tekonsha part # 118467 and the Curt # C56040 are a confirmed fit. I would recommend the Tekonsha though as we tend to have better luck with their converter boxes and the install is a bit less involved.
I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
