I do have an option for you but the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76227 will only fit a Subaru Outback Wagon up to 2018. For your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon you will want to use the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75673 which is a custom fit that installs using pre-drilled holes in the frame rail. I have attached a sample install video for you as well.

If you can tell me what type of bikes you have I would be glad to make a bike rack recommendation but if not I have attached our selection for you.
