Question:

Can I use this brake controller on my 2022 Outback Wagon? I like how it won't be installed on the inside of my vehicle.

Expert Reply:

The Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 is a universal application and will work with any vehicle that has a 7-Way socket and active trailer light and 12V power functions. If you don't already have a 7-Way socket with these functions on your 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon then you can use the following parts to accomplish this.

4-Way T-One - # 118467
7-Way RV Upgrade Kit - # ETBC7L
No-Drill Bracket - # C57202

I'm assuming you already have a trailer hitch and ball mount kit but if you don't I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C67JR and Curt Ball Mount Kit # C45534.

I have attached some installation and review videos for you to check out as well as a photo of the Echo on a 2020 Outback Wagon for you to get an idea of what it will look like once installed.
