2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Recommended Towing Parts

Question

Question:

What hitch do you recommend for my 2016 Outlander? I have a bike rack I'm going to use it for right now, but I will most likely tow a small cargo trailer around as well so I need a light kit too.

I recommend going with the Curt towing parts for your 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander:

- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13163
- Curt T-Connector Wiring # C56296 w/Tow Package or # C56189 w/o Tow Package
- Mounting Brackets # C42CR and # C83DR
- Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45534

I really like the Curt towing products because of how reliable they are. Curt is one of the industry leaders when it comes to towing products so you can be confident you'll be able to use their parts for a long time.
