Good morning. Thank you for the follow-up. I actually answered my own question about the Fish Wire. I took a closer look at what is included in your parts package with the hitch. Voilà, there are the Fish Wires. We are still debating which hitch to purchase. My daughter is a bit slow in making up her mind. Please thank all your guys for the very detailed and well-recorded videos for installation. I will only hope that it is as easy as they make it look. While I have your ear, we will only need the wiring harness for a 7-pin installation on the vehicle at this point. I didn't see that option on your website. We do not need the wiring harness for a trailer at this time. Do you have such an animal? Thanks again for your help.

@Kip for the hitch I would get either the Curt # C67JR or our own etrailer # e25TR. Both have the hidden cross tube so it gives it a nice clean look. The main difference is the Curt has a glossy finish and the etrailer hitch has a matte black finish. If your daughter is worried about how the hitch looks the only other option I would consider is the # DT74YR. This has a removable receiver so it is completely hidden when the hitch is not in use. I hope that helps with the decision. I'm not 100% sure what you mean on the wiring since you mentioned you don't need it for a trailer. Do you want to add a 7-way? Since there are no custom fit options for a 7-way you will have to add the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56040 (this is a 4-way) and then you can upgrade it with the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7.

The Curt Class III hitch part #C67JR and EcoHitch - 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon part #EH34FR are both very similar as far as looks go on the 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon. They are both hidden cross tube designs so the only part of the hitch that is…
