Question:

I have a 2022 subaru outback wilderness and I want to get the drawtite hitch for it, in combination with the Yakima EXO system all links are below. However, Im not sure if the car + hitch + mount are compatible, especially in the rear-of-bumper to center-of-mounting holeinch measurement. The 2 drawtite installation videos on etrailer that I watched all say that this measurement is ~6 inches, while the EXO requires a maximum of 5.5 inches. Can I get a precise measurement on the drawtite hitch + wilderness to see if it will fit? If this wont work, can you let me know of any alternative solutions or tricks that can make this work? Thanks! DT73RR

Expert Reply:

For your 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness the hitch you would need to be able to use the Yakima EXO kits is the # C67JR which provides considerably more clearance than the Draw Tite # DT73RR. I don't have the exact figure but the Draw Tite is recessed under the rear bumper edge while the Curt actually comes out past it like in picture I attached.

I am not sure which EXO kit you were wanting but this hitch will work with all of them.
