Will Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR Clear Rear Bumper When Installed on 2011 Subaru Outback
Question:
I want to get Draw-Tite for my subaru outback 2011. I have that figured out. I am wondering what folding, tilting bike rack will work with this? sounds like I need to calculate clearance from hitch to outside bumper?.

Expert Reply:
When installed on a 2011 Subaru Outback Wagon, the Draw-Tite Class III receiver part # 75673 measures approximately 7 inches from the hitch pin hole to the furthest rearward point of the rear vehicle bumper (see photo). This would mean that any bike rack you choose will need to have a shank measurement longer than that.
Since the Hitching Post Pro you referenced offers a shank that measures about 10 inches from the hitch pin hole to the closest portion of the rack, it would be a great fit.
I have linked you to the hitch install instructions as well as a video demonstration of the Hitching Post bike rack and a video of the hitch install.
