Question:
Does this hitch work with the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV? I don’t see a plug in hybrid option noted explicitly. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
Hey Eduardo! The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e79ZV does not fit the PHEV Outlander. There are too many differences between the regular vehicle and the PHEV so it requires a hitch with a different design. The Curt # C86FV is specifically designed for PHEV models and the best option for your vehicle. The only exception is if you want a removable receiver, in which case get the EcoHitch Stealth # EH64CR.
What will you be using the hitch for?

Thank you, primarily used for a bike rack and maybe cargo platform. So tongue weight important more than tow capacity

I have the hitch and wiring plug on my 2023 Outlander PHEV and installation was straight forward. You will need some gloss black Rustoleum paint to touch up before install because the hitch is inadequately protected by the box.
