Class III 2 inch Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Subaru Outback

Updated 08/02/2017 | Published 08/01/2017

Question:

Hi, I am very interested in the following hitch receiver for my brand new 2017 Subaru Outback Touring 3.6. I really want a class 3, 2 inch hitch and Subaru only offers the class 1 at 1.5. This looks strong and very clean. However, I absolutely cannot install this myself. Who would you recommend I have install this for me? I have no idea and do not want to buy something whereas I cannot find someone competent enough to install. Any assistance? Thanks!

The EcoHitch part # 306-X7601 that you referenced is a great hitch for your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon. I attached an install video to show what the install is like (or for you to show an installer).

Best option would be to find a local mechanic in your area with a good reputation and let them do it. Hitch installs are pretty basic for mechanics so they would have no problem with this.
