Question:
Review of the e42tr reveals weakness where receiver tube attaches to hitch frame with two thin pieces of band iron, one on each side. A strong lateral load to the receiver tube would likely twist or fold the band iron hangers and possibly break welds where the band iron meets hitch components. Is this hitch available with receiver tube attached with square tube or in some other more substantial means. Please advise. Thanks

Expert Reply:
We do have the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7601 which uses more steel to connect the crossbar to the end of the receiver on your 2017 Subaru Outback. This receiver is also made in the USA and comes with a limited lifetime warranty like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e42TR.
