Question:
Hi, which hitch would you recommend for the 2017 Outback? we mostly want to use it for a bike rack Thule Helium Aero2, but may eventually want to pull a small trailer/tear camper. thanks!

The best hitch for your 2017 Subaru Outback wagon will be the Draw Tite hitch part # 75673 which is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch opening. This hitch size gives you the most flexibility with hitch accessories and the best capacities as well. I like it over the Curt hitch because it does not require the stabilizer strap when used with a non-supported load like a bike rack like your Thule Helium 2 # TH9042.
