For your 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander we have the Curt Class III hitch part # C13398 as a confirmed fit. This is a 2 inch hitch with plenty of towing capacity. Then for trailer wiring I recommend the Tekonsha kit part # 118482 because the converter box that comes with it is very reliable and the install is very easy without requiring splicing.

Since you wanted to do 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.
