Driving the family up to the campground? Hauling tools and equipment from the home improvement store? Pulling your boat to the nearby swimming hole? Whatever your destination and whatever trailer you're towing, Bring It® with a CURT trailer hitch!
CURT class 3 trailer hitches are designed, built and tested to accommodate a wide variety of towing applications. They are used on everything from full-size cars, vans and crossovers to light-duty pickup trucks and SUVs. Class 3 trailer hitches are perfect for towing fishing boat trailers, popup campers, ATV trailers, utility trailers and much more. They are also ideal for adding storage space to your vehicle with a hitch-mounted cargo carrier or bike rack (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component).
Each CURT class 3 hitch is engineered to fit on a specific vehicle. This provides the best possible fit and easiest installation. This particular custom class 3 hitch fits specific years of the Subaru Legacy and Outback (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide or use the Vehicle Lookup tool). It is designed to integrate with the vehicle's existing features and offer a reliable connection to your trailer.
This Subaru hitch is stringently tested in accordance with SAE J684 to ensure a weight carrying capacity of 4,000 lbs. GTW and 600 lbs. TW. It also features a 2" receiver tube opening to accept ball mount or other hitch accessory with a 2" x 2" shank.
From class 1 to class 5, all CURT custom-fit receiver hitches are made in the USA to ensure quality from design to finish (may include imported hardware). They are designed with hands-on engineering for a precise fit. They are welded using a combination of manual and robotic operations for speed and accuracy. Finally, they are finished with our unique co-curing process. Each hitch is dipped in a liquid A-coat for rust prevention, inside and out, and then co-cured in a durable black powder coat finish for maximum rust, chip and UV resistance.
Every CURT custom hitch design is thoroughly tested at our in-house testing facility in Detroit, MI. We adhere to the proposed SAE J684 testing protocols to make sure that the hitch you mount on your vehicle will be a dependable means to enjoy your lifestyle.
Whatever your passion -- whether it's hunting, fishing, camping, offroading or hard work -- you can expect reliability for the road ahead. All CURT custom hitches are covered by a limited lifetime warranty to give you confidence in each adventure, season after season.

Caveat: NO lift and NOT a mechanic= this hitch is NOT easy to install. It is well made and sturdy. The instructions are fair. Watch a you tube video. I was in auto repair for 30+ years and this is difficult to install on your back. And good luck getting the hangers back on the mufflers. It is a good product and you can install it yourself. Just know what you're getting into.

Needed a hitch to tote my 5x8 trailer around. This one worked perfect, with a great price. Easy to install (on a lift) The instructions were perfect and it took roughly 1 hour to install. Just bought another 2012 Outback and plan on putting another one of these on it as well.

Great hitch. Fits perfectly, however, the instructions are incorrect for the 3.6R model. This model has dual mufflers in the back. The hitch has cutouts on both sides to clear the muffler hangers, but the instructions should call out these differences:
1. It is easier necessary to remove the mufflers on the 3.6R. There is no way to drop them out of the way. Two rubber hangers and two bolts to the exhaust pipe flange near each muffler and the mufflers are easily removed. Invest the $18 in a exhaust hanger disconnect tool. It's necessary here.
2. The heat shields (one on each side) can be notched the same way as the instructions call for, but they are larger than on the 2.5 and will rattle unless the area of the cutout is insulated with some heat resistant tape. The hitch covers up one of the four heat shield mounting holes.
3. Using a die grinder to enlarge the front frame hole is probably not practical for non-professionals. I tried a die grinder laying on my back under the car and it didn't do a very good job. I wound up using a small cutoff wheel instead. I wished that I had used a 1 1/4" step drill. That would have been the PERFECT tool and would have been faster than using a grinder. (A good step drill in that size is $40+, so unless you already have one, it's pricey, but worth it.)
Again, a great product, but unless you can improvise with the instructions, you may have problems on the 3.6R model. (Why would anyone put this class hitch on a 2.5 Outback?)
By the way, the installation took me 2 1/2 hours without a lift or any help, other than a good hydraulic jack. I wasn't hurrying. If I did it again, it would probably take 90 minutes, even less with a lift and a helper. -
Truly a great product. Used wheel ramps to lift the rear of the vehicle. Install was fairly simple as long as you have all tooling called out on 'Installation Sheet. Highly recommend removing the exhaust muffler from the rubber mounts to free up space during drilling and installation. Make sure to paint over the exposed metal holes created during the drilling process to prevent future rusting.
