Trailer Hitch For 2016 Subaru Forester & Is Hollywood Destination Bike Rack Good Choice
Question:
Is the Hollywood Destination 2-bike rack a good choice for my 2016 Subaru Forester? Which hitch would you suggest?
asked by: Irene M
Expert Reply:
It absolutely is. You made a great choice with the Destination rack, and the best hitch for it on your 2016 Subaru Forester is from Curt; here are the part numbers for both:
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12100
- Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # HLY94FR
Let's start with the hitch, and the reason I like the Curt # C12100 so much for your '16 Forester is because it has the best bumper and ground clearances of the hitches that fit your Subaru. That's important because it allows your bike rack to stay clear of the ground and away from your vehicle better than any other option, keeping the rack, your bikes, and your Forester all safe.
As for the Destination # HLY94FR, it is one of the best overall values for a bike rack. It combines a very good price point with the quality and durability that Hollywood Racks is known for. It's also lightweight at only 20 lbs (which is very, very light for a platform rack) so it's easy to handle, and has a locking hitch pin to secure it safely to your hitch.
