  • Yes the Curt Bike Rack part # C18065 will fit and work great in the EcoHitch that fits your 2020 Subaru WRX part # 306-X7257. There is enough clearance between the hitch pin hole and the back of the hitch/trunk pan for the rack to fit.

  • Subaru 2016 WRX Hitch Recommendation for a Bike Rack
  • 2 inch trailer hitches are reserved for larger vehicles that would have higher towing capacities like trucks and SUVs. For your 2016 Subaru WRX the only trailer hitch size we offer is 1-1/4 inch like the Curt hitch part # C11408 that you referenced. You would have to go with a new bike rack to be able to transport bikes with your WRX if your current rack only fits 2 inch hitches. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack...

  • Best Bike Rack for Carbon Fiber Frame Bikes
  • The best bike rack option we have for expensive carbon fiber frame bikes is the Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack part # NV22B for 2" or part # NV12B for 1-1/4". The NV holds the bikes by the wheels so there will be no chance for damage to the frame and it comes with locks for both the bike rack and bikes so there will be a decreased chance of theft. It works with tire sizes up to 3" so there will be no problems here either and it comes with a really nice finish.

  • Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack for 2016 Subaru WRX
  • For the 2015 or 2016 WRX, 4-door with or without spoiler, I recommend the Yakima KingJoe Pro 3 Bike Rack # Y02625. This rack features Yakima's anti-sway StableCradle system to hold bike firmly in place to help prevent bike-to-bike and bike-to-vehicle contact. For easy storage, the mounting arms will fold down to help compact the bike rack. I have attached a review video of this bike rack for you. If you have a 5-door hatchback WRX, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike...

  • Will the Eco Hitch Invisi Hitch Work with my 1UP Bike Rack
  • The EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7257 is a 2" x 2" receiver tune opening. While we do not sell the 1UP from what I have seen of them they come in the 2" x 2" variety. If your is 2" compatible it will work out great for you. The only thing to be sure of is that you will need to have less than 2.5" of shank behind the pin hole on your rack for the holes to line up.

  • Safety Chain Attachment Points on EcoHitch for 2016 Subaru WRX
  • The EcoHitch Invisi trailer hitch part # 306-X7257 does have safety chain attachment points. Since the hitch has a concealed cross tube the attachment points are difficult to see once the hitch is actually installed. The safety chain attachments are the two brackets at the bottom of the hitch with the holes in them. I have attached a photo for your reference. I am not familiar with the laws in your state but the use of two safety chains is the safest practice. You will want to cross the...

  • Roof Rack and Snowboard Carrier Recommendations for a 2015 Subaru WRX Sedan
  • Rhino-Rack makes an excellent roof rack that attaches to the fixed mounting points on the roof of your 2015 Subaru WRX sedan. For bars I recommend # RR37GR. The aerodynamic shape helps reduce wind noise and resistance and the aluminum construction is light weight and corrosion resistant. Then for a compatible locking carrier that will hold up to 4 snowboards I recommend # RR576. I have included a link to a video review of this carrier for you.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2022 Subaru WRX
  • I would be happy to help. I checked with our vendors and the only hitch available for a 2022 Subaru WRX is the Draw-Tite Hitch item # 76271. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Subaru with included hardware. If splicing is a no go for you, I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 119250KIT. This is also a universal wiring harness but it uses clamps to receive the signal from your wires without cutting into them. To round...

  • Installation of EchHitch 306-X7257 on 2016 Subaru WRX
  • The EcoHitch # 306-X7257 will fit a 2016 Subaru WRX as long as it's equipped with the knock-out panel in the lower rear fascia. I don't have a specific recommendation for an installer, any trusted mechanic should be able to handle the installation. In this case, the rear bumper cover/fascia needs to be temporarily removed and part of the fascia needs to be trimmed, as does some of the heat shielding. A body shop might be a better alternative, as they'd be more well versed in removal and...

  • How Many Snow Tire Chains Do I Need on 2018 Subaru WRX?
  • If ever you aren't sure about what tires you need to chains on, you can find out by reading your owner's manual. I looked through Subaru's 2018 WRX and WRX STI/RA Owner's Manual and you can double-check yours as well. Since you have a small wheel clearance, Subaru asks you to be extra careful with installing traction devices and that you only use Class S devices like the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Profile Snow Tire Chains # TH00023102. The manual says to only install them on your front...

  • What Kayak Load Assist Can I Use With My Lockrack For My 2016 Subaru WRX
  • I do have a solution for you, but will not involve the Lockrack Loading Bar. You will still have to remove, or adjust the orientation, of the arms for this solution to work, but this method would be your only option. You can use the following items to help you load your kayak with the Lockrack Loading Bar. Yakima BoatLoader EVO Telescoping Load Assist - 28" Extension, part # Y04085. This load assist bar is stored in your crossbar when it is not in use. It has a weight limit of 80 lbs....

  • 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...

  • Recommended Bike Rack Option for 2016 Subaru WRX STI w/ Factory Spoiler
  • According to my Thule representative, the height of the spoiler on your vehicle would prevent you from installing a trunk mounted bike rack, but there are options that would allow you to carry two bikes. Your best bet would be to install a hitch like the Curt Class I, part # C11408 and use it as an attachment point for a hitch mounted bike rack. My favorite bike rack right now is the Kuat Beta, part # B202-114. The rack is super strong, but its aluminum construction means its only about...

  • 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness to Fit 4-Way on Trailer
  • Yes, the 4-way that comes with the # C56259 that you referenced is the same style of connector in the picture that you sent me. On your trailer is the male side and with this harness you would have the female side to connect to it. Everything else you mentioned would work just fine with your trailer.

  • What Size Trailer Hitch Receiver is Available for 2015 Subaru WRX
  • When it comes to a trailer hitch receiver for your 2015 Subaru WRX, a 1-1/4 inch Class I hitch, part # C11408, is the only one available. A 2 inch hitch is not available for the 2015 Subaru WRX. If you are planning to use the hitch to transport bicycles, I have attached a link to our bike racks that are compatible with the Class I hitch. If you are interested in a different hitch mounted accessory, please feel free to send me an email with that information and I would be happy to make...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Subaru WRX Thats Hidden Behind Bumper Panel
  • Yes, for your 2018 Subaru WRX we have the EcoHitch part # 306-X7257 that installs behind the rear appearance cut out like you mentioned. If you check out the attached picture you'll see a ball mount going through the opening in the bumper and attaching to the hitch. This hitch also fits the STI models too. If you need trailer wiring too the kit I recommend is the Curt part # C56259 because it installs without requiring any splicing and because it has the most reliable converter box of...

  • Hardware Installation Questions for a EcoHitch on a 2021 Subaru WRX
  • I went ahead and linked an installation video for the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 306-X7257 on a 2019 Subaru WRX. These are the same steps as your 2021 WRX. You will see around the 16:10-16:50 part of the video that the bolts are pushed up against the frame to hold them in place while the washers, lock washer, and hex nut are tightened and then later torqued on. The hardware for this hitch uses standard bolts not carriage bolts so they do not come with a square beneath...
