Expert Answers about Subaru WRX


  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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....

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • How To Attach a Yakima Raptor Roof Mounted Bike Carrier To Rhino Rack Euro Crossbars
  • The correct attachment that you will need to mount the Yakima Raptor Roof Mounted Bike Carrier 8002085 on a Rhino Rack Euro Crossbar is the Yakima SnapAround Mounting Brackets part # Y8810135. If your Yakima Raptor already has these installed then you won't need anything else but if you have a different set of attachments like the Mighty Mounts then you will need the above.

  • Recommended Thule Bike Rack and Trailer Hitch for 2015 Subaru WRX
  • I went out to our warehouse to take a look at the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7257 that you referenced and I measured a distance of only around 1-1/8 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outermost edge of the receiver. With this in mind the 1UP rack you are looking at, along with Thule bike racks (which do all require at least 1-1/2 inches for this measurement), will not be a good option with this particular hitch. Because of the limitations on this hitch...

  • Is Wiring Harness Included with EcoHitch Trailer Hitch for 2015 Subaru WRX
  • The EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7257 for your 2015 Subaru WRX does not include a trailer wiring harness or pin and clip. It is simply the trailer hitch and the needed hardware to install it. None of our trailer hitch receivers include the wiring harness needed for towing. To add a trailer wiring harness I recommend the Curt T-Connector # C56259 that will plug right into factory ports behind the driver and passenger side tail lights. You will also need to run a hot lead...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Subaru WRX
  • The Curt trailer hitch # C11408 will not be concealed behind the rear fascia of your 2015 Subaru WRX. The cross tube and receiver will be visible beneath the rear fascia. Take a look at the installation instructions I have linked that shows some pictures of the hitch position. If you plan on doing some towing the correct ball mount to use is # C45521. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. And for trailer wiring use # C56259. If you will be using the hitch...

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Subaru WRX
  • Yes, I spoke with my contact at Curt and the Curt Hitch part # C11408 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit the 2015 Subaru WRX so it will work for you. The hitch will hang below the rear bumper when installed. I attached a picture that shows this hitch installed as well. For a ball mount you would want part # C45521, 1-7/8 inch hitch ball # 19256, 2 inch hitch ball # 19258. For trailer wiring you would want the part # C56259.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2019 Subaru WRX
  • I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11408 along with the Curt T-Connector # C56259 because I like the way the squared Curt hitch looks on the WRX over the round Draw-Tite version. The Curt trailer hitch comes with a limited lifetime warranty and is assembled in the USA, and the T-Connector is the corresponding wiring kit for your 2019 Subaru WRX. I have attached install videos and a few pictures of this hitch installed for you to reference. To complete a towing setup you...

  • Best Trailer Hitch and Wiring Kit for 2020 Subaru WRX
  • For your 2020 Subaru WRX I recommend the EcoHitch part # 306-X7257 as it has plenty of towing capacity for your camper but also because it's only option that fits behind the rear bumper panel of your vehicle for a concealed look and also better ground clearance. See attached picture and install video for more info. For trailer wiring then the Tekonsha kit part # 118768 is the best option as it's very easy to install and comes with a very reliable converter box. Since you wanted to do...

  • Recommended Best Trailer Hitch Receiver for Dirt Bike Carrier on 2015 Subaru WRX
  • The only hitch we carry for your 2015 Subaru WRX that will allow you to use your dirt bike carrier is the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7257. This is a 2 inch receiver that is rated for tongue weight of up to 525 lbs, so it is the best option for this combination. I also recommend the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches # 63232 to secure your single dirt bike rack to this hitch. I've attached a photo of this fit to assist. The Class I hitches are rated...

  • Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack that Accepts 27.5 Inch Wheels and a 50 Inch Wheelbase
  • I recommend the Swagman Trailhead # S63365 is a 3-bike holder which accepts up to a 50-inch wheelbase. The wheel size does not matter in this case. This budget-friendly rack is becoming quite popular due to its low price and light weight. Getting the 3-bike version gives you some extra room between bikes. If you prefer to stick with the 2-bike version of this, the part number is # S63360.
