Expert Answers about Subaru Impreza


  • Maximum Capacity of Cargo Carrier Used on 2014 Subaru Impreza
  • The capacity of any towing system will always be limited by the capacity of its lowest-rated component. Although the Reese # PS10401-10402 cargo carrier has a 400 lb capacity and the EcoHitch # 306-X7211 you'd looked at has a 525 lb tongue weight capacity (maximum amount of downward force that can safely be applied to the hitch) the 2014 Subaru Impreza owner's manual lists a maximum tongue weight of 200 lbs. Therefore, you'll want to abide by the 200 lb maximum mentioned in the owner's...

  • Recommended Hitch and Motorcycle Carrier for a 2018 Subaru Impreza
  • The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7350 you were looking at is confirmed to fit your 2018 Subaru Impreza. It bolts to your Subaru with included hardware. I really like this hitch because it installs behind your rear bumper cover leaving only the 2" receiver visible. This not only makes the back of your car look better but it helps with hauling accessories. For a motorcycle carrier, I recommend the etrailer Aluminum Motorcycle Carrier for 2" Hitches item # e56UR. This carrier...

  • Which Trailer Hitch for 2019 Subaru Impreza Will Have Best Ground Clearance
  • When we installed the Draw Tite hitch # 76209 on a similar Impreza as your 2019 model we found that the ground clearance was right at 8 inches. The EcoHitch part # 306-X7350 would actually have the best ground clearance as only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper. This allows for better ground clearance around corners where the rear of the vehicle would be angled and also where most ground clearance issues happen.

  • Does the 200 lb Tongue Weight Capacity of Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Apply to Hitch Accessories
  • Tongue weight represents the maximum amount of downward force that can be safely suspended from the hitch, whether it be tongue load applied from a trailer coupler, or a hitch mounted accessory like a bike rack or a cargo carrying tray like the # PS1040100 you looked at. In the case of your hitch, the weight of the cargo carrier plus whatever is loaded on it could not exceed 200 lbs.

  • Best Trailer Hitch for 2018 Subaru Impreza
  • Since all hitches are made of steel and are designed to bolt on to the exact same points on any given vehicle there is not usually much weight difference between brands of hitches of the same receiver size and Class rating. But in the case of your 2018 Subaru Impreza Wagon there are actually three different Classes of hitch available, Classes I, II and III, which do have differing weights since some simply have more steel material. Here are the hitches and their weights by receiver size...

  • Towing Capacity of Trailer Hitch for 2017 Subaru Impreza
  • I was unable to find the exact towing capacity of your vehicle online. Best option will be to check your owners manual or to check with Subaru directly. When determining the overall towing capacity of a setup you have to go by the lowest rated component as the overall capacity. The Draw Tite part # DT24959 is a fit for your 2017 Subaru Impreza and it has towing capacities of 2,000 lbs total trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. If that is higher than the capacity of your vehicle as...

  • Dimensions of Detail K2 Mighty Multi Utility Trailer
  • We have a Detail K2 Mighty Multi Utility Trailer # K2MMT4X6 here so I went to measure the bed and it was approximately 47-3/4" wide, so there would not be enough room to fit your 48" wide plywood.

  • What is the Roof Weight Capacity of a 2013 Subaru Impreza
  • I looked up the online owner's manual for your 2013 Subaru Impreza and starting on page 8-14 it states that if you have roof rails then the weight capacity of your roof is 150 lbs but if you have a roof with the moulding then your weight capacity is 176 lbs. I recommend confirming this in your copy of the owner's manual. You will be able to use the Rhino-Rack XTray Pro Cargo Basket # RRRMCB03 but since it weighs 48.5 lbs this will cut into the weight capacities that I just referenced so...

  • Bike Rack That Can Accommodate More Than 2 Bikes on 2006 Impreza With Class I Receiver
  • The only hitch offered for your 2006 Impreza is a Class I, which has a relatively low tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. This is due to the strength of the attachment points on the frame rails where the hitch installs to the vehicle. Because of this low tongue weight capacity, no more than two bikes should be placed on a bike rack used in a Class I receiver (although the rack might be able to accommodate 3 or 4 bikes). As more bikes are added, the leverage placed on the receiver increases....

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2013 Subaru Impreza 2.0i Premium Hatchback
  • That one won't but I have one that will. I checked with EcoHitch and the correct hitch for your 2013 Subaru Impreza 2.0i Premium Hatchback is item # 306-X7211. This one fits the 5-door wagons with single exhaust. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. The EcoHitch item # 306-X7241 you were looking at fits the 2013 sedans. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56368 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

  • Can a 2014 Subaru Impreza WRX Hatchback Tow a 2,000 lb Trailer
  • According the online version of the owner's manual for your 2014 Subaru Impreza WRX Hatchback (page 8-13) Subaru says that your vehicle is not designed or intended to be used for towing a trailer. The reason there are trailer hitches like the EcoHitch # 306-X7261 that you referenced is for accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. I wouldn't know how your vehicle would handle or perform under the 2,000 lb max weight of the trailer hitch as trailer hitch manufacturers only test their...
