Question:
Hello, I’m trying to purchase the part# DT73RR for my Subaru Outback Wilderness, but I can’t find it on your website. Is it not for sale anymore?

I have a great hitch that will fit your 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness but the Draw-Tite one you referenced is no longer available. Draw-Tite's parent company is being bought out and their parts are perpetually back ordered so they're off of our site (03/26). Instead you will want the etrailer Hitch item # e25TR. In my opinion this is a way better hitch for a comparable price.
The reason I like the etrailer Hitch item # e25TR is because of the hidden crosstube design. The crosstube installs behind the rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver visible. This not only helps with ground clearance but it looks so much better not having that crossbar hanging out across the back. (See attached picture below)
I took a look at the owners manual for the 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness. It's maximum towing capacity is 3,500 lbs which is exactly what the etrailer hitch offers. The Draw-Tite one had a higher capacity but it is 1,000 lbs over your vehicle's abilities so you wouldn't be able to utilize it.
I have linked an installation video below.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56040 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
