Question:
Curt 607JR and Tekonsha T-One 118467 for a 2025 Subaru Outback. Rather than drape out under the hatch, can you make a recommendation for permanent placement of the plug outside the vehicle? Hoping there are various options - looking for a clean protected install.

Hey Mike there should be a grommet under the spare tire that you can route the Curt Wiring Harness item # C56040 through. This was there on the previous models and we've had customers do what you're wanting successfully. You can use the Curt Easy Mount Bracket for 4- or 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector item # C58001 to attach it to your hitch so it is in a safe accessible location.
The Curt Wiring Harness item # C56040 is custom fit for the 2025 Subaru Outback. It plugs into your Subaru's wiring harness, which is located behind the interior trim panel in your rear cargo area.
I have linked an installation video below to help you find the correct connector.
Here are some other parts you will need to tow with your 2025 Subaru Outback:
Trailer Hitch - etrailer Hitch item # e25TR
Ball Mount Kit - Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534

Hey Mike, how did routing the Curt wiring harness through the grommet under the spare tire work out on your Outback? Did the Easy Mount Bracket give you the clean, protected setup you were after? Your update could make it easier for others looking for a similar wiring option.
