  • Rhino Rack Pioneer Roof Basket Recommendation to Fit Yakima Round Crossbars
  • The largest Rhino Rack Pioneer roof basket that comes with universal mount hardware that would fit the round Yakima bars you have is the Rhino Rack Pioneer part # RR42115BF. This is 58 by 47 inches and would work well on your 2008 Subaru Outback Wagon.

  • CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror # CM11980 Compatibility For a 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness
  • We have not yet had a 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness Edition in our facility to test fit the CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror # CM11980. It looks like the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek is the closest we have tested the mirrors on in our facility. I have linked an installation video below to help see the fit on those mirrors.

  • Will Thule DockGlide Kayak Carrier Fit Malone MicroSport Crossbars
  • The Thule DockGlide Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # TH896 will fit crossbars up to 4" wide x 1-1/2" tall so it will install just fine on your 1-1/4" square crossbars for your Malone MicroSport trailer. These have a weight capacity of 75 lbs per kayak. For something with a higher weight rating I recommend checking out the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # Y04091 instead. These will fit your crossbars just fine and they have a weight rating of 150 lbs per kayak so they can handle...

  • Will SportRack Pop-Up Camper Roof Rack Work with Universal MightyMounts for Yakima
  • The SportRack Pop-Up Camper Roof Rack part # SR1020 uses square crossbars which measure 1-1/4" wide x 1-1/4" tall. The Universal MightyMounts for Yakima Roof Mounted Accessories part # Y03590 works with crossbars up to 1-1/2" tall so they should work great with the SportRack crossbars.

  • Which Bike Rack For My Draw-Tite Hitch And My 2022 Subaru Outback Will Let Me Carry My E-Bikes?
  • Well, all that is really dependent on the type of bike rack you have currently. For instance, if you have a Yakima bike rack like the Yakima RidgeBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02457, then you would NOT be able to transport electric bikes. This is due to primarily to the limited weight carrying capacity of 40 pounds per bike. This is likely not enough capacity to support the majority of e-bikes on the market. Instead, you're going to need a bike rack like the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric...

  • Will a Subaru Outback Work With LED Trailer Tail Lights
  • That would really come down to the tail light converter used but most are LED compatible so you should have no issues at all illuminating LED trailer tail lights like the Combination LED Trailer Tail Light part # STL8RB and part # STL9RB with a Subaru Outback.

  • Will Yakima Fullswing Bike Rack Fit a 2017 Subaru Outback with Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13206 that you have on your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon has about 2-1/4 inches from the hitch pin hole to the outer edge of the bumper. That isn't very much which is good. The Yakima FullSwing # Y02465 measures about 9 inches from the hitch pin hole to the closest point of the rack. So there's plenty of clearance for the rack to fit on your Subaru. Swinging the rack open is pretty simple. All you need to do is loosen a handle and pull a pin. It locks...

  • Recommended Roof Basket for 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • On your 2015 Subaru Outback I suggest the Yakima LoadWarrior # Y07070 if you have at the factory roof rack. I've attached a video for you to take a look at. If you need a roof rack first it will depend on the style of roof you have. If you have rails that run front to back and are flush to the roof I suggest the Yakima round bar system: 48 Inch CrossBars # Y00408 SkyLine Towers # Y53TR RoundBar Adapter # Y03536 Landing Pad # Y00241 If your rails are raised and not flush to the roof...

  • Will Thule Roadway 4 Bike Carrier, # TH914XT Fit a 2005 Subaru Outback
  • The Thule Hitching Post Pro 4 Bike Carrier, # TH934XTR, is designed for use with 1-1/4 inch or 2 inch trailer hitch receivers, so in that respect the rack will fit with the available trailer hitches for the 2005 Subaru Outback. You will need to make an important measurement to see if the bike rack offers enough clearance for your Outback. Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the distance required to clear the rear bumper. If that distance is less than 11-7/8 inches, the...

  • Can the Rear Hatch be Opened With SportRack Vista XL Installed on a 2011 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • The SportRack Vista XL, # SR7018, should fit the factory crossbars on a 2011 Subaru Outback Wagon. The great thing about this box is that it is only 63 inches long. This means you should be able to open the rear hatch most of the way if not all of the way. You can also adjust the mounting hardware in the box to move the box forward giving you even more clearance. I have included a link to a review video for you.

  • Will Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack Have Enough Clearance With Curt Hitch on 2020 Subaru Outback
  • You will not have a problem using your Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack # NV22B with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C67JR. One of the nice things about this hitch is that the receiver sits almost flush with the rear bumper. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the bumper of your 2020 Outback is approximately 3". Looking at the bike rack, the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack when folded down is 10-1/2". When folded up it is 7". This...

  • EcoHitch Compatibility for 2017 Subaru Outback for Yakima Fold Down Bike Rack
  • I am not sure which specific folding Yakima rack you are referencing, but the EcoHitch part # 306-X7601 is a fit for your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon and would have plenty of clearance for any of the folding Yakima racks to fit and clear.

  • Strap and Mounting Plate Needed for the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL14125
  • The strap that you will need to use for the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL14125 is the 2" x 15' Strap # DL6148. The hook on this strap has a safety latch on it to help keep it secured to the load during operation. You will need a 2-3/4" long x 1/14" diameter bolt for this straps to work with this winch though (not included). When it comes to mounting the winch we have the CE Smith Winch Stand # CE31013G but this is used for boat trailers. If you have a utility trailer then unfortunately...

  • Will the Softride Dura Parallelogram Bike Rack Fit on a 2011 Subaru Outback with a Class II Hitch
  • I have a few excellent hitch mount bike racks that will work with the factory Class II trailer hitch on your 2011 Subaru Outback, but unfortunately Softride has discontinued the Dura and Element bike racks. Instead, I recommend looking at the Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack, # TH9025XT, because it has many the same features as the Softride models you were looking at such as the included cable and hitch locks, anti-sway cradles, 4 bike capacity, tilting, and folding when not in use. A few upgrades...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Recommendation for a 2009 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • There are trunk mounted bike rack options for your 2009 Subaru Outback, but the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV that you referenced is not one of the confirmed fits. The rack I would recommend for you that has been confirmed to fit your vehicle would be the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2. Check out the review video I attached for this rack also. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing...

  • Will The Trailer Hitch on my 2017 Subaru Outback Fit On A 2022 Subaru Outback?
  • We do have hitches for your 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon, sadly the Draw-Tite Max-Frame trailer hitch receiver # 75673 is NOT a confirmed fit for the 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon. There was a generation change in the Subaru line so the specs have changed from your model to this one. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT73RR is a confirmed fit for your Subaru Outback and it requires no drilling.
