on a Subaru Outback?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Subaru Outback is a strong family car that well deserves its popularity in North America. Hitches fall into classes from I to V, or from lightest to heaviest loads. Unfortunately, the Subaru Outback is only either Class I or II. This means that a 2.5&#8243; hitch can tow a maximum of 2,700 lbs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While it might be wise to go for Class I or II hitch, it is best to go for a higher class, just in case. It is definitely not a good idea to put more weight on your vehicle, but a higher-class hitch can provide more dependability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"What_to_Look_For_When_Buying_a_Hitch\">What to Look For When Buying a Hitch<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here are some main aspects you need to consider when choosing your Subaru Outback hitch:<\/p>\n<h3>Class<\/h3>\n<p>As we previously mentioned, your vehicle is probably a Class I or II. Despite this, it is always better to go for a higher-class hitch in order to be sure that you will be safe and sound. That will make the ideal hitch a Class II or, ideally, a Class III. However, just because you have a Class III hitch does not mean your Subaru is ready to tow that much. Thus, be ready to stick to light-duty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" title=\"\" data-id=\"879\" src=\"https:\/\/mk0winchcentrallaoar.kinstacdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/61us9f08JaL._AC_SL1024_-300x300.jpg\" style=\"\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">CURT 13390 Class 3 Trailer Hitch<\/p>\n<h3>Protective Coatings<\/h3>\n<p>Protective coatings on your hitch are important. Once you install it under your car, where all the rain and snow go, you will realize the importance of protective coatings. They will help your hitch avoid rust and corrosion, which can damage its structure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Value for Money<\/h3>\n<p>Last but not least, the hitch should offer value for the money spent. Does it have all the features you need? If no, you should keep scrolling. If yes, then make sure it fits within your budget. Fortunately, our options are budget-friendly, so you will definitely find the ideal hitch for your Subaru Outback.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Review_of_the_Best_Hitches_For_Subaru_Outbacks\">Review of the Best Hitches For Subaru Outbacks<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you have worked out what you are looking for in a hitch for your Subaru Outback, take a look at some of these great models.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Best Overall:<\/strong>CURT 13390 Class III Trailer Hitch<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31TWqXksG5L.jpg\" alt=\"CURT 13390 Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2-Inch Receiver, Exposed Main Body, Fits Select Subaru Legacy, Outback\" class=\"aligncenter\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>PROS<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>High-strength steel and precise welding<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Custom-fit to Subaru Outback and Legacy<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Includes all the hardware necessary for installation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Resistant to rust, chipping, and UV due to dual-coat finish<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Vehicle-specific design, seamless integration, and durable connection<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Dependable strength-rated for 4,000 lbs. gross trailer weight and 600 lbs. tongue weight<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>CONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>                    <span>Quite difficult to install<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--StartFragment--><strong>What Recent Buyers Report<\/strong><!--EndFragment-->This hitch is the top recommendation for Subaru Outback owners.
