  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2016 Subaru Legacy
  • We have a great solution for carrying two kayaks with a Rhino Rack roof rack installed on your 2016 Subaru Legacy like the part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK416. For that we have the Yakima # Y04073 which would fit and work well. It would get a little sketchy trying to fit two kayaks on the roof of your vehicle with foam block roof rack carriers.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT Wagon
  • For your 2005 Subaru Legacy Wagon there are both Class II and Class III trailer hitches available. I recommend a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver such as # 75560 because it will be stronger and the 2 inch receiver affords you many accessory options. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with...

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for Two Kayaks on 2019 Subaru Legacy
  • While we do have a roof rack and kayak carrier that will work for both of your Perception Tribe 11.5 kayaks the Malone SaddleUp Pro Truck Bed Kayak Carrier # MPG1001 is only designed for a single kayak and also would not fit a Malone Versa roof rack. For a roof rack I highly recommend the Yakima CoreBar system because it offers a combination of superior functionality, durability and looks. This roof rack is a fit for your 2019 Subaru Legacy so long as it is the Sedan model and is made...

  • Roof Rack that Fits 2014 Mazda 3 and 2014 Subaru Legacy
  • The best option we have would be a roof rack that is mostly the same that fits your 2008 Mazda 3 and 2014 Subaru Legacy but with different fit kits since the roofs are different. So what you'd want is the Inno Square Roof Rack part # INB137, # INSUT, and # INK851 for the 2014 Subaru Legacy and then use just the different fit kit # INK794 to fit the bars and feet to your Mazda 3.

  • Availability of 3,500 lb Trailer Axles
  • We do carry a select few axles. For a 3,500 lb axle we only have one size. It measures 89 inches from hub face to hub face and 74 inches between spring centers. If this doesn't match your trailer's needs then you would need to find a local trailer shop that can order you in custom axles and have them order the correct size. For an axle with brake hubs you would want the part # 35545E-ST-89 or for idler hubs part # 35545I-EZ-89.

  • Trailer Hitch, Wiring, and Accessories for a 2016 Subaru Legacy
  • I will be happy to help you out. For a trailer hitch for your 2016 Subaru Legacy I recommend Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75673. This hitch is rated for 600 pounds tongue weight and 4,000 pounds gross trailer weight. Be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual to see what your Legacy is rated for and go by the lower capacity. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. For trailer lights I recommend Tow Ready 4-Way flat # 118671. Tow Ready harnesses have a good reputation...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2014 Subaru Legacy
  • I do have an option for you, however the Curt Class II Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12290 referenced in your question is not confirmed to fit your 2014 Subaru Legacy. This particular hitch is designed for certain model year Subaru Outback Wagons, as you noted, and it will also fit 2015-2018 models of the Subaru Legacy. It looks like there was a generation change after 2014 on the Legacy and the differences in the rear frame on the new generation allow this hitch to fit, but it will not work...

  • Recommended Roof Rack system for a 2015 Subaru Legacy with no Existing Rails or Crossbars
  • For your 2015 Subaru Legacy with no existing rails or crossbars, I recommend the Rhino-Rack ROC25 roof rack # RR37XR because it's lightweight due to the aluminum construction, aerodynamic and is very economical. Price does adjust over time, so you'll need to check product pages periodically if you want to compare and contrast. The roof rack # RR37XR is close in price and still a economical cost. The included pads and clamps are specifically designed for the contours of your Legacy's roof....

  • Replacement Trailer Tire for Size ST185/80-13
  • Yes, we do carry one trailer tire that is size ST185/80-13 but it's a bias ply tire instead of the radial tire size that you mentioned. The part # AM1ST79 is the correct size but it is a ST185/80D13 instead of R13 which means it's a bias ply.

  • Will Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack Fit in Upright Position in Draw Tite Hitch of 2013 Subaru Legacy
  • Yes, the Draw Tite hitch part # 75673 that fits your 2013 Subaru Legacy does have the clearance needed to allow your Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack # NV22B to fit and clear when in upright position. When we installed this hitch on a similar Subaru Legacy as yours we found that there was a distance of 5 inches from the center of it's hitch pin hole out to the furthest point out on the rear bumper. So you'd have clearance of 2-5/8 inches!

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2009 Subaru Legacy Sedan to Carry a Scooter Carrier
  • The Draw-Tite Hitch part # 75560 that you referenced is the correct hitch for your 2009 Subaru Legacy Sedan. This hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 400 lbs, so that means that if the weight of your 290 lb scooter and carrier together weighs less than 400 lbs this hitch should work well for you. Basically if your carrier weighs less than 110 lbs (which it should) you would be fine. However, you need to also check the owners manual of your vehicle and determine what Subaru lists as the...

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Ski Carrier for 1994 Subaru Legacy Sedan
  • For a great cost-effective roof rack system for your 1994 Subaru Legacy Sedan I recommend the square bar system # SR1008 from SportRack. This will work great on your bare roof for transporting your XC skis. Next you can use the linked page to see all ski carriers that can fit on these square bars and that can handle 4 pairs of skis, such as the Thule SnowPack # TH7324, which includes locks. The linked video will help illustrate the features.

  • Roof Rack Recommendations for 2018 Subaru Legacy
  • The Thule and Rhino Rack square bars are different dimensions. Both Rhino-Rack and Thule have moved away from the standard square bars. My recommendation is to use an aero bar roof rack which is far less noisy. I'd use the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK416 is confirmed as a fit for your 2018 Subaru Legacy and would work well.

  • We do carry a cargo bag that will mount to a vehicle roof that does not have rails, crossbars, or a basket. You would want a Rightline Gear Sport 2 # RL100S20. This bag would mount to the naked roof of your 2010 Subaru Legacy.

  • What Type Of Roof Rack System Will Haul A Folded 12 Foot Porta-Bote On A 1997 Subaru Legacy Outback
  • If your 1997 Subaru Legacy Outback has the factory roof rack with the crossbars that run from side to side you can use the Thule DockGlide Rooftop Kayak Carrier System, part # TH896. This system will accommodate a kayak or boat that is up to 34 inches wide and weighs 75 lbs or less. Another choice is the Thule Hull-A-Port J-Style Rooftop Kayak Carrier, part # TH834. This would hold your boat in an upright position and when it is not being used the J-style racks would fold-down and lay...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2012 Subaru Legacy and Thule Bike Rack
  • Adding a trailer hitch to your 2012 Subaru Legacy is permitted. There is a whole section on it in the vehicle owner's manual, section 8. Since you will not be towing you wouldn't have to worry about doing any additional maintenance to the vehicle as stated in the manual. With a trailer hitch such as # 36493 installed you can use your Thule bike rack as long as it has a 1-1/4 inch shank. But the vehicle tongue weight capacity is 200 pounds meaning the combined weight of the bike rack and...

  • Capacity of Trailer that Has Lighter Capacity Axles That Trailer Max Capacity
  • 2,000 kg converted to lbs is 4,409 lbs. Since you are only as strong as the weakest component in your towing setup that would be the overall capacity regardless of the other weight you found of 5,500 lbs. If you overload the axles you'll be putting them at risk of failure.
