It looks like you are interested in the Curt trailer hitch # C13079 for your 2017 Outlander Sport. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening.
Per Curt, all non-trailer loads (bike racks, cargo carriers, etc) must be supported by stabilizing straps, such as part # 18050.
For that reason I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e63AR. This is also a Class lll hitch with a 2-inch receiver.
If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
If you need a trailer wiring harness and your Outlander has LED taillights, I recommend part # 118538. If your Outlander does not have LEDs the wiring harness I recommend is part # C59496.
To order any of these items just follow the links to our website and you can use the shopping cart on the product page.
If you plan to use the hitch for a bike carrier or cargo carrier let me know and I will be glad to make some recommendations that will work for you.
