Question:

I need to install a trailer hitch on my 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon so I can tow a small camper trailer, which would you recommend for me?

The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon is the Draw Tite part # 76227 because this 2 inch hitch has plenty of towing capacity and because only the hitch opening will be visible so it will be much less visible than other hitches available for your vehicle. I attached a picture of this hitch installed on a similar Outback as well as an install video for you to check out as well.

For trailer wiring then I'd recommend the T-One part # 118467 because it does not require any hardwiring to install on your vehicle and because it has the most reliable converter box of all of the kits we offer. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

Since 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.
