Hey John, thanks for reaching out!
If you check on the back of your 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander it will say "Sport" under the "Outlander" tagging on the back of the vehicle (see attached photo).
For a standard model we have the Class III Curt # 13581, but if you have the Sport model then you'll need the Curt Class III # C13079 instead.
Let me know what you plan on using the hitch for and I can make additional recommendations as necessary!
