The only main difference between the Swagman G10 # S64682 and the Chinook # S64683 bike racks are the design of the crossbars that the wheel cradles are attached to at the base of the bike rack.
The Swagman G10 uses two crossbars in which the wheel cradles are attached directly on top of the bars.The Chinook model use one crossbar that the wheel cradles attach to and sit off the side of the bar.
The only difference between the two racks, other than the design, is the Chinook rack will be a few pounds lighter than the G10 rack, because the Chinook rack has one less crossbar.
The weight carrying capacity, locking system, and the ratcheting arms to secure the bikes in the rack are all the same between the two racks.
Either bike rack will work with your 2015 Subaru Outback's 2 inch hitch.
