Expert Reply:

Hey Nick congrats on the new car! The bottom portion of the receiver for the Curt item # C69VV sits 11-3/4" above the ground when installed on your 2025 Subaru Outback Premium. If you're worried about ground clearance, I recommend installing the Curt item # C67JR, which sits 13-1/2" off the ground.

What are you looking to use a hitch for?

Thanks! It’s primarily for a bike rack, not towing any real weight.

@Nick You're welcome! It's a bit more difficult of an install but if you're going up and down a steep incline regularly, I recommend installing the Curt Hitch item # C67JR to give you peace of mind.
