Expert Answers about Subaru WRX


  • Recommended Trunk-Mount Bike Rack for 2019 Subaru WRX Sti with Large Spoiler
  • For your 2019 Subaru WRX Sti with large factory spoiler I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 carrier # Y02634 or the 3-bike version # Y02633 because both are specifically designed to work with this vehicle feature.

  • Is the Thule EasyFold XT Compatible with the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • The EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 306-X7257, has a distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outside edge of the receiver of 1-1/8". This is not enough to use the Thule EasyFold XT, part # TH903202, or any other Thule bike rack. Instead, I recommend using the Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack, part # BA22B. It can hold two bikes up to 60 pounds each. It is a wheel-mount rack that has keyed-alike locks. I've linked to a video review of this below.

  • Can The Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack Be Used With A Class 1 Hitch?
  • Not only is the size of the trailer hitch receiver important, but also the class is important. The Yakima Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches # Y02445 is only to be used on class 2 receivers so it will not work on your class 1 receiver. This is for a couple reasons, one being that class 1 receivers are not designed to hold the weight of some accessories, such as this class 2 bike rack. The second reason is that some hitch manufacturers actually weld in a stopper which blocks...
