Best Hidden Style Hitch For Carrying A Bike Rack On A 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon
Question:
I'm looking for the best hitch to carry my bike rack on my new 2022 Subaru Outback. I prefer one that will not be super visible as I wont be using it that often. I saw quite a few different ones and wanted to make sure that A) It is hidden B) It has the highest capacity C) My bike rack will fit. It carries 4 bikes and has the 2 inch receiver tube thing.

If you are looking for hitch that will not be super visible when not in use and will maximize your 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon's capacities, I recommend going with the etrailer # e25TR. This will be a fairly difficult install, but once finished it will only have the receiver portion of the hitch exposed. So no ugly crossbar to look at. I included an install video for you to check out as well. It will definitely help if you were going to be doing the install yourself.
This hitch will also be perfect for carrying your bike rack. It has the 2" receiver and technically is rated up to 350 pounds of tongue weight, but you will need to check your owner's manual to see what your Outback is rated to. This amount does look to change depending on how it was equipped from the factory.
