Expert Answers about Subaru XV Crosstrek


  • Curt Trailer Hitch Fitment for 2016 Subaru XV Crosstrek
  • Good news, I was able to confirm that yes, the Curt hitch part # C13135 that you referenced is a fit for your 2016 Subaru XV Crosstrek. It is important to note that this hitch recommends the use of a stabilizing strap like the # 18050 with any non-trailer loads. I've linked an install video on the 2015 for you to check out they will install similarly.

  • Will the Rhino-Rack Fairing Fit the OEM Crossbars on a 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek
  • The Rhino-Rack Fairing, # RRRF2, that you referenced may work with the OEM crossbars on your 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek. It was not designed for factory crossbars, but it will fit crossbars up to 3-1/2 inches wide and between 7/8 inch and 1-1/4 inch tall. Your crossbars must also have 30-1/2 inches between the crossbar legs and 38 inches between the side rails for the fairing to fit. The Rhino-Rack fairings are going to be the closest fit option that we have for OEM crossbars. The fairings...

  • Will the Pro Series Cargo Carrier # 63155 Fit on a 2013 Subaru Crosstrek With Factory 1-1/4 Hitch
  • You will have no problem inserting the shank of the Pro Series Cargo Carrier, # 63155, into the 1-1/4 inch receiver on your new 2013 Subaru Crosstrek. The important factor to consider when using this cargo carrier on your vehicle is cargo carrier to bumper clearance. To find this clearance, we need to take one simple measurement. You will want to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on your trailer hitch receiver to the furthest back point on your bumper (see photo). If that...

  • Will Trailer Hitch From 2014 Toyota RAV4 Fit A 2017 Subaru Crosstrek
  • The trailer hitch you have from your 2014 RAV4 is not designed to fit the 2017 Subaru Crosstrek. The hitch is designed to fit specific vehicles with the frame mounting holes. For the Crosstrek we offer two Curt trailer hitches. I recommend part # C13135. This is a Class lll trailer hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. We also offer a Class l hitch, part # C11286. This hitch has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. I recommend going with the Class lll because there are so many more...

  • Will the Thule Roof Cargo Basket Fit a 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek with Factory Roof Rack
  • I did some checking and found that on the 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek that has a factory roof rack the crossbars are spaced 27 inches apart on center. This confirms that the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs, Item # TH859XT will work for you.

  • Can Thule # TH910XT Passage Trunk Mount 2-Bike Rack Carry Beach Cruisers
  • Because the Thule passage carries bikes by the frame, the width of the tires won't affect the bike fit on the rack. As long as the single bike weight is under 35 lbs and the combined weight of the two bikes carried on the rack isn't greater than 70 lbs, the Passage will handle your bikes just fine. If you'll be transporting women's bikes or bikes with sharply-angled top tubes, you might also consider a frame adapter bar like part # 64005. The bar spans the distance between the handlebar...

  • Compatibility of Rhino-Rack Cargo Basket RMCB02 with Factory Roof Bars on 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek
  • Yes, the Rhino-Rack rooftop cargo basket # RMCB02 will fit on virtually any shape of roof rack crossbars, including both aftermarket and factory aero-style bars. To confirm a great fit just check that your bar size is within the maximum size of 3-1/2-inches wide x 1-1/4-inches tall and that the center-to-center bar spread is within the range of 25-1/2- to 43-inches. Often users of rooftop cargo solutions also choose a handy folding step # TE97FR to extend reach for easier loading and...

  • Differences Between a Class I and Class III Hitch for Carrying Bikes on a 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek
  • You're right, there are no Class II trailer hitches available for the 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek. This is because of the vehicle's ability to tow larger trailers when equipped with the larger Class III hitches. There are very few reasons to use a Class III trailer hitch for your proposed applications. I've included a link to a few of our help articles that dive further into this below, but in summary, you'd want the Class III if you're a fan of having more options and flexibility or think...

  • Will Thule K-Summit K44 Tire Chains Fit 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek with 225/55-17 Size Tire
  • The Thule K-Summit Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains, Size K44 # TH02230K44 are confirmed to fit the 225/55-17 size tires on your 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek. The owner's manual for your XV Crosstrek says tire chains should not be used, but that another type of traction device may be acceptable. The manual gives the example of spring chains, like the K-Summit # TH02230K44, as an alternative to tire chains. The K-Summit # TH02230K44 also comply with the requirement in the owner's...

  • Yes! The Thule Interstate cargo bag # TH869 is listed as a fit for your 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek with a factory installed roof rack.

  • Will the Swagman Chinook Bike Rack Fit a 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek
  • If your 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek has the Subaru factory 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch I do not recommend the Chinook bike rack # S64683. The reason is that the hitch pin hole is very close to the end of the receiver on that hitch and not enough of the bike rack shank will be inside of the receiver. If you have an aftermarket Class I hitch such as # DT24959 or Class III hitch # 76084 then it would work.

  • Will Curt Roof Mount Cargo Basket Fit Stock Crossbars on 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek
  • To determine if the Curt cargo basket # C18115 will fit your 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek with factory crossbars you will need to take a couple of measurements. You are going to measure the width of the bars and the distance from the center of the front bar to the center of the rear bar. The Curt basket will fit if the crossbars are up to 3 inches wide and the bars are 15, 22, or 29 inches apart on center. I have included links to the instructions and a video review of this basket.

  • I checked with Yakima and the SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07337 does fit the factory roof rack crossbars on your 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek. I have linked a video review of this cargo box for you. If you are curious about potential hatch interference you will need to have 57 inches or more measured from the center of the front crossbar to the nearest part of the hatch when opened.

  • Portable Air Compressor and Pass Through TPMS w/ Trailer Tire/Wheel Upgrade for Beach Towing
  • Taking over half of the PSI out of the Loadstar ST185/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range D item # AM3S331 tires is not something I can recommend doing. I used to live in the desert so I understand the necessity for what you are intending to do when traveling across soft sand. Besides voiding the tire warranty the issue with running the tires deflated is the tire's sidewalls flex more causing heat to build up within the tire. This issue will increase driving...
