Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C67JR and EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # EH34FR are both excellent options for a 2020 Subaru Outback. I recommend the Curt hitch because it will be easier to install, is more cost effective, and has a higher towing capacity. They both offer a bolt-on install and hidden design.
I have attached an install photo of the Curt hitch for you as well. In regards to install cost, the professorial install time is listed as 45 minutes for the Curt so you can expect to pay for about one hour of labor which can usually cost around $100 give or take.
