Wow, excellent job, thank you for this! I didn't expect the install to be this straight forward, I think I might add one to my "07 once I get done rebuilding the motor!

[@dougmiller6337]

Excellent instruction, camera work and lighting. Will be installing mine on this same vehicle in the coming days. Thanks!

Do they just have a weld on option

[@hp11208]

I think we all do have a second hand, in our video's, cause we need it most of the time lol.

[@s0nnyburnett]

Mine had some kind of body stiffening brackets held in by 3 bolts on both sides covering 2 of the body nuts. First I thought I had the wrong tow receiver but it fit after removing those brackets which it looks like someone else had already removed or was never installed on this car. Not sure what the purpose of them was but can't install the receiver with them on.

[@KwokFaiKennethLaw]

I have just bought the Draw-Tite 75560 for my 08 Legacy Wagon, but the mounting hardwares were lost during shipping. Also I just noticed there are no weldnut in the frame (probably because it is the Japan model?) Do you think there are still ways to install the hitch? Thanks for your help!

[@zacharybuffaloe1587]

I’m currently trying to install mine right now. Do you happen to know what the bolt size and thread size is for those pre drilled and threaded holes?

[@joevanvalkenburg]

trailer lights how to install coverter or light combiner box

[@robinsonsauto]

+joe vanvalkenburg that would be a great follow up video, I did offer this as well however its mainly being used for a bike rack, with hopes they will expand their options and bring it back in the near future, if so I will be put together a demonstration, thanks for the suggestion its appreciated

[@basaraj]

Well done. Thank you for the video!

[@subninja8069]

The reason, why I want this, is because I don't want to buy a truck. So buy a trailer instead. The most used its going to get is going to lowes for wood and Trees as well.

[@eddiemartinez265]

Good job with that car they cant tow anything to heavy anyway.

[@mds2465]

is this one a 4 cylinder or an H6?

[@robinsonsauto]

2.5L 4 cylinder

[@mds2465]

well hopefully they're not planning to tow anything that heavy. those engines aren't meant to take a lot of weight.

[@robinsonsauto]

+Michael Sackstein very true statement, mainly going to be used for a bike rack

[@mds2465]

robinsonsauto my moms been leasing outbacks for over 21 years now, I would know. we did have one that was a 2004 H6 LLBean edition in red. loved that car.

[@577buttfan]

This was awesome bro i gotta do this.Just picked up a buru and its gunna be a back up for pulling a 1500 pound trailer if my truck breaks down.
