Curtis, it does look like the only hitches offered for a 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon like # DT73RR are going to be class III hitches which are going to have 2" receivers.

If it's an accessory you're trying to use that only works with a 1 1/4" hitch then you could just use the Trailer Hitch Reducer # e63YR and you'd be all set.

Thank you Bryce. I am aware of the reducer but was trying to avoid because in previously mounting my Kuat bike rack to a 1 1/4" receiver on a different vehicle, the Kuat rack comes with a mechanism allowing you to tighten the rack to the receiver that eliminates any "rattle". Introducing the reducer is one more part and I suspect it will rattle some (annoying). Looks like I may be stuck with the 2". Again, thanks.
