Expert Reply:

The best hitch for your 2023 Outback is going to be the etrailer Trailer Hitch item # e25TR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Outback with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity, and a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight. It is not rated to be used with weight distribution systems.

I really like this hitch because the crossbar installs behind your rear bumper. This completely conceals it leaving only the 2" receiver visible. This hitch also has a matte black powder coat finish that not only provides superior rust protection but also tends to blend in better beneath your cars trim.

I have attached a couple of pictures below along with an installation video so you can see what this hitch looks like when installed.

If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56040 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
