Is there drilling required for this install on a 2015 Subaru Outback?

I drilled the holes and cut the openings with a saber saw to install the metal plates( used fish wire to pull bolts through as stated in instructions) , took me about 4 hours including removing both mufflers, left them hanging on forward rubber hanger,(mine is a 2011 3.6 liter ( be sure to wear safety glasses lots of metal chips will fall in your face, single exhaust 4 cylinder models are much easier, not sure if original equipment hitch would be easier to install? but would probably be 2 to 3 times more expensive

I have not looked closely at the 2015 models yet, but it would be my guess that the answer would be yes. On the 2014, not only drilling was required but the enlargement of access holes to feed the bolts and oversized washers through.

I installed it on my 2011 outback and I had to drill two holes, one on each side of the car frame. The frame was pretty thin metal and easy to drill. I'm assuming that the structure/frame of our two cars has not changed.

To get the hardware into the proper mounting points on the subframe a metal cutting device (I used a rotary cutting metal grinder) must be used to enlarge the opening to accommodate the hardware. A drill with the proper drill bit could also be used to do the same.

Yes, there is drilling involved. You can download the install manual PDF from the manufacturer and study all the details involved.

No drilling, there are clips that 'hook' under the hood. First time it took 30 minutes, now 10 to 15 max.

I installed mine on a 2009 Rav4 and there was a special mounting kit required to make the attachments from the running boards to the frame of the SUV. No drilling was required for my installation.

Hello, These attach with existing bolts inside the wheel wells. There is no drilling required, as they install into existing holes. Detailed installation instructions are also included! I hope this helps!

There is absolutely no drilling required. It uses previous holes where there have been bolts and plastic rivets. Super easy to install!

Yes you do have to drill holes for the side cargo net. Frankly, I didn't want to do that. If I decide to install it I'll have a dealer do it.

Yes, the mounting points are already available on the 2013 Jeep 4 door with threaded inserts in the frame so no drilling is required. It took me about 15 minutes per side with a socket, crescent wrench and ratchet

No drilling, there are mounting holes under the truck, just remove the plugs

Absolutely. Very easy installation with only four bolts. No drilling is required

There is a kit specific to your installation that does not require drilling or any heavy mechanical activity. The mount kit for my 2010 Tacoma bolted right on. Obviously the installation requires that you spend some time on your back, other than that it is an easy install. Hope this helps you. By the way I had a compliment the other day from a fellow Tacoma owner who was considering step boards that cost 3 times these. He said these looked much better and would order them. -Dave

There should be no drilling required. It taps into the rear sight of the rifle, and has two threaded bolts that go where the original steel pins were.

No drilling. You must loosen some fender well covers for the fasteners though. Easy to install IMO.

No drilling required. It's a tension rod and stays up very well on its own.

There is no drilling involved. You take the screws out on the side, put in the hooks and replace the screws.
