Hello David,
Thanks for writing in! I'm glad you found us.
For your 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C87WR. It's a custom-fit Class III hitch with a 2-inch receiver, so it's a great choice whether you're planning to tow a small trailer or use accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. Installation is straightforward since it bolts to existing mounting points on the frame, so there isn't any drilling required. I attached an image of what it will look like installed.
If you're planning to tow, you'll also need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C43WR. It plugs into your Outlander's factory wiring, making for a clean installation without cutting or splicing into the vehicle's wiring.
To finish everything off, I also recommend the Curt No-Drill Bracket # C83DR along with the Curt 4-Pole Mounting Bracket # C42CR. These let you mount the trailer connector next to the hitch for a clean, factory-looking installation while keeping the connector easy to access whenever you need it.
Need a ball mount, check out our etrailer Ball Mount w/ Pre-Torqued 2" Ball - 2" Hitch - 2-3/4" Rise - 7,500 lbs # e38NR. I really like how our hitch ball comes in the black nickel plating, gives it a nice sleek design.
Are you planning to tow a trailer with your Outlander, or are you mainly looking for a hitch to carry bikes or a cargo carrier?
