Recommended Best Trailer Hitch Receiver for Dirt Bike Carrier on 2015 Subaru WRX

Question

Question:

I have a 15 WRX and wanting to get a hitch that will allow me to transport my dirtbike on my single dirtbike rack. Is there any way to accomplish this with your class one hitch? The bike and rack around about 230 lbs.

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 for a total tongue weight maximum of 200 lbs, so I can't recommend any of them for your application.

I have a solution for you, however, it will require a new hitch receiver. Class 1 hitches, like the one you have, have a max tongue weight of 100-150 pounds. So you will not be able to use the actual hitch receiver to carry the amount of weight you…
