If your 2013 Subaru Outback Wagon has the factory raised side rails, I recommend the Yakima Roof Rack With The TimberLine Towers. For this system you will need to order part # Y03536, part # Y33TR, and part # Y00408. This system includes 48 inch round crossbars.
The Yakima JetStream system referenced above is one of the best on the market as far as quality and ease of use goes! view full answer...
The longer, slotted shank that you mentioned is not on the Hollywood Racks Traveler # HR6000 but it is on the Roadrunner. I attached a picture of the shank for you to check out as well. view full answer...
We do indeed have hitches for the 2015 Subaru Legacy in both the 1-1/4 inch or 2 inch receiver size from Draw-Tite or Curt Manufacturing.
Whenever the option for a Class III hitch is available, I recommend going that route as there's a much better selection of hitch mounted accessories available for the more common 2 inch receiver.
Curt makes a great product, but their warranty requirements for their Class III hitch, part #
13390 stipulate that a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 be... view full answer...
The 2011 Subaru Outback Wagon has both 1-1/4" trailer hitch receivers like part # 36493 and 2" trailer hitch receivers like part # 75673. I recommend using a 2" trailer hitch receiver as this will allow for a larger trailer to be towed and also a much wider variety of hitch mounted accessories to be used.
I have attached an install video of the 2" hitch on a similar 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon. If you can tell me what you will be using the hitch for I would be glad to provide some additional... view full answer...
The best option for a 2 inch hitch for your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon is the Draw Tite part # 75673 which is a confirmed fit and doesn't require a stabilizer strap like the Curt hitch does when carrying a bike rack.
This will work great with the Thule T2 Pro part # TH83JV as well without requiring an extension. We had the chance to test fit this rack on a 2017 Outback with this hitch installed and we found it fit well. See install video and picture attached for more info. view full answer...
According to my Thule representative, the Atlantis 1600 box accommodates up to 6 pairs of skis that are no longer than 178 cm with no hinge interference. I did want to let you know that the Atlantis cargo box has been discontinued, but the Thule Pulse XL, part # TH615 is a very close replacement, with a 16 cubic foot capacity. It can accommodate 6-8 pairs of skis up to 181cm in length. If your Subaru Outback is equipped with the OEM crossbars, the Pulse XL should not interfere with the... view full answer...
Your 2014 Subaru Forester can be fitted with two types of hitch, either a 1-1/4-inch Class II type or a 2-inch Class III. Many hitch-mount accessory items like your Twiststep (and many bike racks, for example) have the flexibility to be used with either size hitch receiver. Generally a 2-inch hitch has broader compatibility with a range of accessory items.
Often a Class III hitch will have a higher tongue weight capacity than a Class II hitch. If you have any expectations for using the... view full answer...
There is not a hitch lock that meets your criteria, however the Thule Vertex uses a special lock that will be compatible with your hitch. It is the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2. Most bike rack manufacturers have specific locks that work with only their products to give the anti-rattle and locking functions. The pin diameter is 1/2 inch and is confirmed to work with 2 inch receivers. view full answer...
Only option would be to tow a small trailer for the motorcycle. There are no hitches available that have the needed capacity to carry a 400 lb motorcycle and carrier.
The Curt Class I hitch part # C11408 is a fit for your vehicle and would work well for towing a lightweight trailer as long it weighs less than 2k loaded. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
For trailer wiring you would need the part # C56259 which is a confirmed fit.
For a ball mount you... view full answer...
Brake controllers can't activate the brakes of a vehicle being flat towed so you will have to look into a supplemental braking system. Some do require power to operate and on vehicles that also require the battery be disconnected the solution is to use an outlet kit like part # RM-9332 which wires to the battery and then gives an outlet.
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot... view full answer...
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.

Making sure that you're on the right class of hitch is always the easiest way to ensure a fit. If the hitch had been damaged at any point (whether from a previous owner or just bad luck) that can cause the hitch to suddenly feel a little "large" especially if it was a Class 1 hitch that was installed.
Either way for your new 2017 Forrester, we'll focus on limiting the amount of rattle, the "looseness" that you were feeling from your CR-V's hitch. There will always be some rattle, as there... view full answer...
You will need a new hitch since the Jeep Liberty and Subaru Forester are such different vehicles. For that the best option would be the Draw Tite part # 75876 which has the best capacities and price.
I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. For trailer wiring you then would want the part # 118467 which is also a confirmed fit. Install video for this attached as well. view full answer...
I have a possible solution that will allow you to mount a trailer wiring harness 4-Way on the outside of your 2017 Subaru Outback instead of running the wiring through the hatch. On the vehicle remove the flooring in the cargo area beyond what the trailer wiring harness instructions call for. Basically you need to get down to the metal of the cargo area floor.
Then look for a grommet through which you can route the 4-Way end of the wiring harness through. If no grommet exists you could... view full answer...
While the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top bike rack # HRF2 (for 2 bikes) will likely fit your 2016 Subaru Impreza hatchback, Hollywood Racks does not list it as a fit for the 2016 models yet so I cannot recommend it. But they are good quality bike racks and nothing else is recommended for vehicles that have that spoiler piece at the top of the rear hatch.
What you can do is install a trailer hitch and use a hitch mount bike rack. As long as your Impreza hatchback has single exhaust you can... view full answer...
What is the diameter of the arms on your bike rack? With that info we may be able to find something that could work.
Most bike racks have 1 inch diameter arms and the Thule part # 853-7887 would work as a cradle with the # 852-3006-001 as a strap and a # 853-7758 for a anti-sway cradle. view full answer...
I may have a solution for you to have a 2 inch hitch receiver opening on your 2004 Subaru Forester.
The only hitch available for your Forester is a Class II, 1-1/4 inch receiver hitch like the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 36311. I have attached an installation video for you to check out.
Since there are no 2 inch hitches available for your Forester, you would need to use an adapter like part # HTAD to convert your 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver to a 2 inch receiver. The hitch pins and clips... view full answer...
The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 bike rack part # SH22G is a great choice for a wheel-mounted platform rack on your 2011 Subaru Outback. This is one of the nicest racks on the market and I think you would really like it. Check out the review video I attached for more details and info.
For a hitch I would recommend the Draw-Tite part # 75673. This is the most popular hitch available for your vehicle. This is a 2 inch hitch that will offer more flexibility and capacity for future hitch accessories or... view full answer...
It depends on how much stuff you want to carry. There are many boxes that will fit the factory crossbars on your 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon.
If you need a lot of cargo space I recommend a big box such as the Thule Motion 22, # TH6299B. It has 22 cubic feet of storage space.
Most Thule boxes have a claw-like mounting system which is easy to use. As far as looks and style, the new generation of Thule boxes are very sleek and modern. view full answer...
Provided that you will have the necessary crossbar space and weight capacity on the roof of your 2017 Subaru Crosstrek, you can transport your 4 kayaks on the roof. I do recommend checking the weight capacity of your vehicle's roof as listed in the owner's manual to ensure that you remain under its limit.
If you already have a factory or aftermarket roof rack installed, I recommend looking at the Thule The Stacker # TH830. This carrier has the ability to secure up to 4 kayaks side by... view full answer...
