Question

Question:

Is ok to just enlarge the existing holes for mounting or is it better to drill the 2 new holes and pull the bolts through? I will be installing on a 2010 Subaru Outback

When installing the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75673, on a 2010 Subaru Outback, you will want to drill the new access holes to fishwire the bolts through as specified in the instructions, linked for reference. Enlarging holes on the frame or hitch is not advisable because the hitch will be relying more on the square block rather than the frame of the vehicle and that could cause failure.
