  • Recommendation For Hauling Two Mobility Scooters
  • While there aren't any cargo carriers that would fit two mobility scooters or even be able to handle the weight of two, you do still have the option of using a trailer like the Detail K2 Mighty Multi Utility Trailer # K2MMT4X6. The loading gate isn't the best for a mobility scooter so I recommend getting some loading ramps # 288-07474-2 as well. You can use some tie-down straps like # EM04418 to secure your scooters to the trailer.

  • Trailer Hitch Fitment for a 2023 Subaru Forester
  • Yes, you can use the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e83ZR 2023 Subaru Forester. This is a fit for the 2022 model and according to my research this is the same generation as your 2023 so they will be compatible with each other! Attached is an installation video of this hitch on a 2021 Forester for you to check out. If you let me know what you plan on using the trailer hitch for I'd be happy to make an additional recommendation for you!

  • Parts Needed to Tow Camp-Inn Tear Trailer With 2023 Subaru Outback Limited XT
  • For a hitch that fits your 2023 Subaru Outback Limited XT I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e25TR. I know you asked for a Class IV hitch, but that is not necessary. This Class III hitch has a max towing capacity of 3,500 lbs, which is the most the Limited XT trim can tow. It is also more than enough to handle the Camp-Inn trailer that maxes out at 1,430 lbs for the largest model. For the wiring, you will need to start by adding a 4-way with the # C56040. This plugs into...

  • EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2021 Subaru Crosstrek
  • According to EcoHitch, the # 306-X7203 isn't a fit to for the 2021 Crosstrek, as there have been changes to the rear of of the vehicle between the 2018 model and the 2021 model that would prevent the hitch from fitting. The good news is that EcoHitch has a completely concealed hitch available for the 2021 model, part # 306-X7365. The receiver tube of the hitch is completely removable, so when the hitch isn't being used and you remove the receiver tube and the hitch will be 100% hidden...

  • Flat Towing A 2020 WRX Premium 6 Speed Manual
  • To flat tow your vehicle you'll need the following items: Tow Bar: I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000lbs Item # RM-522. It has a non-binding feature that will allow you to easy attach or remove the arms when on uneven surfaces. Tow Bar Wiring: I recommend the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit Item # RM-154 as it's a one time setup that uses your vehicle's lights instead of having to run magnetic lights...

  • Will SportRack Cargo Box SR7011 Fit Factory Crossbars On 2016 Subaru Forester
  • Yes, the SportRack # SR7011 will fit the OEM crossbars and factory rails on your 2016 Subaru Forester, as it's designed to fit most factory crossbars. However this box is pretty long so it's possible you'll need to position it forward to allow you to open up the rear hatch, and even then they may hit. Similar length boxes require a gap of 12" or so from the rear crossbar to the hatch/roof gap for clearance, so if you can get that much space or more you should be ok. Sportrack doesn't give...

  • Vehicle Wiring Harness Trailer Connector Converter Issue on my 2004 Subaru Baja
  • I hate to say it but the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # HM11143875 does not have a serviceable converter. I would check your owner's manual first to ensure that you did not simply blow a fuse on your 2004 Subaru Baja. Since this converter is powered by the vehicle it is very likely this is the issue. Look for a Trailer Tow or Trailer Power fuse. These can also sometimes be TRLR as well. Fuses can be hard to pull and see if they...

  • Can The Lockrack Adjustable Watersports Carrier 339-LRUNISETX Hold A 16 Foot Canoe?
  • I confirmed with Lockrack that the Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier - Canoe, Kayak, or 2 SUPs - Side Loading - Universal Mount # LR54FR is able to hold a 16 foot canoe. Just make sure your canoe is no wider than 48" and is under 175lbs. You would likely be fine without use of straps, although I would probably add some straps for reassurance since it is a rather large boat and Lockrack does suggest adding straps for longer boats. I would use etrailer Kayak Tie-Down Kit # e36ZR since...

  • Need for Stabilization Strap for Class III Hitches
  • For the Class I and Class II hitches there is greater need for stabilizing strap than for higher class rated hitches, and may sometimes be required. For this product Curt has chosen to carry over that "recommended" statement but it is not required, etrailer has chosen to not attach that label. The recommendation of using a stabilizing strap such as # 18050, is to avoid putting too much strain on your trailer hitch, minimizing excessive torque experienced caused by side to side movement....

  • Two Kayak Carrier Recommendation that Fits 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon Factory Crossbars
  • For two of the LockRack kayak carriers to fit next to each other you'd need crossbars with around 60 inches of usable length which I am fairly certain your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon would not have. I'd recommend a carrier designed for carrying two kayaks like the Thule Compass # TH890000 which fits your vehicle's bars and does a really great job carrying 2 kayaks. I attached a review video for more info on this as well.

  • Replacement Double Eye Leaf Spring That is 23 Long
  • The closest spring I have to that is the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles part # e59SR this is 23 1/8" eye to eye and is built for use on a 3500lb. axle so even though it is not a 4 pack it may have the capacity you need. If you have more details on the trailer and it's capacity I can try to come up with a different solution for you if you feel this will not work for you.

  • Compatibility Of The Thule Hullavator With A Yakima Whispbar HD Crossbar Roof Rack
  • The Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs # TH898 connects to crossbars using a small t-slot bracket and bolt. The bracket is 3/4" x 3/4", so the t-slot in your Yakima Whispbar crossbars would need to be large enough to accommodate this. The crossbars will need to be spaced at least 24" apart and overhang the feet by 4"- 8" for the Hullavator to have enough clearance to slide down when loading or unloading your kayak.

  • Recommended Roof Top Cargo Box for my 2021 Subaru Crosstrek
  • The SportRack Horizon Rooftop Cargo Box part # SR7011 will fit the bill for you perfectly. It has a shorter rear than most allowing you to fully open your hatch and it will not interfere with your moon roofs operation. I have linked a video for you on the box for you to check out that Evangaline did that will give you a great idea on the size.

  • Will the Yakima JetStream Crossbar System Work On a 2020 Subaru WRX with Sun Roof
  • The Yakima JetStream Crossbar System part # Y00425, part # Y53TR, and part # Y00248 is a great option for a 2020 Subaru WRX and it will work on models with a sunroof. That said, you need to be mindful when using the sunroof with the roof rack attached as you will have a reduced overhead clearance with the rack installed but there are no other issues aside from this according to Yakima. It does mount in the factory fixed points.

  • Soft Cargo Bag Options for the 22-1/2x49 Curt Cargo Carrier
  • The Curt Cargo Bag for Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier # C18211 is a soft sided cargo bag and could be used in your 22-1/2x49 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18113. The cargo bag would just be bunched up towards the ends due to the extra fabric. It is recommended for carriers at least 56" wide. We do not have a bag that matches up to the 22-1/2x49 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18113 perfectly. The closest option is the CargoSmart Cargo Bag for Hitch Mounted Carrier # CS34FR which is 54" x 21".
