Outback
The use of a genuine SUBARU trailer hitch is recommended. A genuine SUBARU hitch is available from your SUBARU dealer.
If use of a non-genuine hitch is unavoidable, be sure the hitch is suited to your vehicle and trailer. Consult with a professional hitch supplier to assist you in choosing an appropriate hitch for your vehicle. Be sure to follow all of the hitch manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use.
Never use a hitch that mounts only to the rear bumper. The bumper is not designed to handle that type of load.
For all types of hitches, regularly check that the hitch mounting bolts and nuts are tight.
