Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon for Carrying 3 Bike Rack
Question:
Can a 2019 Subaru Outback with a 2 inch reciever successfully carry 3 bikes on a platform - like the Kuat Transfer 3 rack . With the weight of 3 bikes and the rack - it won’t be to heavy ? Or should I shop around for a another vehicle?

Expert Reply:
Yes, if a 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon had a 2 inch hitch installed on it like the Draw Tite part # 76227 you could easily carry the Kuat Transfer V2 bike rack # KU24FR.
I recommend the # 76227 for this vehicle because it gives you a 2 inch hitch like you'd need to carry more than 2 bikes and because only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper which gives it more of a concealed look. I attached a picture of this hitch installed on a 2019 Subaru Outback just like yours as well as a link to an install video.
