Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2007 Subaru Impreza Hatchback
Question:
hello, im looking for a hitch that can support a motorcycle hitch carrier. my motorcycle is about 450lbs. I have a 2007 subaru impreza hatchback. does a hitch even exist for my vehicle that can support that kind of weight on the tongue?? Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Expert Reply:
The trailer hitches that are available for your 2007 Subaru Impreza all top out at 200 pounds tongue weight so you would need a different way to carry the motorcycle. Basically, using the Impreza the motorcycle would have to be on a trailer. This is actually much safer and easier on the vehicle than a hitch mounted carrier.
If your Impreza is a WRX but not an STi model then you can use Curt trailer hitch # C11497. The proper ball mount is # 3593. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. For trailer wiring use # C59236.
