Question:

Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2 Installation I have done a good bit of research on the best hitch for my 2015 Outback 3.6 and this is the hitch that I would like to get. My independent Subaru mechanic will only install Subaru hitches. Do you have anyone in Santa Fe or Albuquerque that you would recommend to do the instal? Thanks!

We don't have any specific installers we recommend in your area but any mechanic you trust will be able to install your hitch if you aren't comfortable doing so yourself. It will take about an hour to install. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75673 you asked from is a great hitch that will be a great addition to your Outback. The installation does require lowering your exhaust, but not removing anything other than the hanger shock absorbers. Then you will need to drill access holes in the frame but the rest of the installation is really easy. There is a minor trimming of the heat shield with tin snips for the fit around the hitch. I've attached a video to assist.
