Question:

I am taking delivery of a 2024 Subaru Outback next week and would like to install a hitch. Which one do you recommend?

Expert Reply:

Congrats on the new car! For your 2024 Subaru Outback, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e25TR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Subaru with included hardware. I really like this hitch because it mounts behind the rear bumper cover leaving only the 2" receiver visible. This helps with ground clearance and it looks better.

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.

I also recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR to secure the 4-way connector to your hitch. This will put it in an easy to reach spot and prevent the risk of it falling onto the road.
