Yes, they are if your 2017 Subaru Outback has a 2" hitch installed like item # e42TR. The Flint Hill Goods 30" x 50" Wheelchair Carrier item # FHG77ZR requires your vehicle to have a 2" receiver. It looks like the carrier weighs 80 lbs and your Permobil M3 weighs just below 400 lbs so you'll need a hitch with a tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs.
The etrailer Hitch item # e42TR is custom fit for your 2017 Subaru Outback and has a 600 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like this hitch because it installs behind your bumper cover leaving only the 2" receiver exposed. This helps quite a bit with ground clearance so you won't have to worry about bottoming out with the carrier item # FHG77ZR attached.
The Flint Hill Goods Cargo Carrier # FHG77ZR has inside dimensions that are 48" long x 28" wide x 5" deep so you will have plenty of room for your wheelchair.
