Question:
Hello, I am looking for the best hitch to use with a Thule T2 Pro XT 2-Bike Hitch Rack and also to tow a jet ski. Thank you do much!

Since the Thule T2 Pro XT you are looking at is the 2 inch version part # TH83JV you'd want a 2 inch hitch for your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon like the Draw Tite part # 76227 which is mostly hidden. Then for towing a jet ski trailer you'd need trailer wiring like # 118467 which is easy to install and very reliable.
Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
