The easiest to install trailer hitch for a 2020 Subaru Outback is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT73RR becuase it doesn't require you to remove the rear bumper like all other options do with the concealed design. Furthermore, it's a bolt-on fit and you won't have to do any trimming of the rear bumper like you do for other options so little to no modifications are needed.

If you'll be towing a trailer then you will also need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118467 which is a plug and play fit along with the etrailer Ball Mount Kit part # 989900 which has the rest of the needed parts to complete your setup.

Unfortunately there was a change in the design of the Subaru Outback Wagon for the 2020 model so you'll need a different trailer hitch. Attached is a link to our selection of trailer hitches that fit your 2020 model.

Good question, Dennis. Once the TowSmart #TS34ZR is installed, only the 2-inch receiver tube is visible below the bumper. The cross tube sits tucked up against the frame, giving you that clean, near-factory look. It’s a nice balance between clearance…
