Expert Answers about Subaru Crosstrek


  • Could 50 inch Thule Evo Crossbars Fit on 2018 Subaru Crosstrek
  • I attached a picture that shows what the 53 inch long crossbar Wingbar Evo roof rack part numbers # TH711420 and # TH710401 looks like installed. There's a decent amount of overhang that if you wanted to substitute shorter bars like with part # TH711320 you certainly could.

  • Recommended E-Bike Bike Rack for 2018 Subaru Crosstrek with Spoiler
  • While the Hollywood Racks Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2 will fit your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, you're going to need to move to a platform-style hitch mounted bike rack to accommodate your heavier E-Bike because any hanging-style bike rack does not have the weight capacity to hold that heavy of a bike. Yes some of them have a total weight rating that is higher than your bike, but when you break it down it usually averages to about 35 lbs per bike so the cradles won't safely...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12184 Fit With Thule Helium Bike Rack On 2023 Subaru Crosstrek?
  • The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to center of receiver is more than the 1-1/2" you need on the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12184. When we installed this receiver on a 2021 Crosstrek in our shop we found the hitch pin center hole to be 2" from the from the rear edge of the bumper. With your 2023 being the same body style you should have 3" of clearance with the Thule Helium Bike Rack # TH44VR having 5" of distance when folded up. I recommend installing the T-One Vehicle...

  • As it comes from the factory, the included fork blocks on the # RRRMCB03 XTray pro can accommodate 15mm axles. To carry your bike with the 9mm axle, you'd need to add the Rhino Rack # RRRBCA039 sleeve for 9mm axles. The sleeve is sold separately, and I've linked to it for you.

  • Can 60" Thule Crossbars Be Mounted To A 2021 Subaru Crosstrek
  • Unfortunately the spacing for your vehicle wouldn't allow for you to connect 60" Thule crossbars, but I do have two options for you. The first being that you still use your Thule feet and instead of using crossbars you use the Thule Caprock Platform Roof Tray # TH58YE. This would give you more mounting locations to accommodate all of your cargo needs. The other option would be to switch to a Yakima roof rack, with the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00426 and TimberLine Towers # Y33TR....

  • Will Malone Roof Rack on 2018 Subaru Crosstrek Work With Yakima SkyRise HD Rooftop Tent
  • Yes it will! The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216 that fits your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek will work with the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent for Roof Rack Crossbars # Y07436. The tent simply requires you have a roof rack that secures to fixed mounting points or side rails (which is what this rack attaches to) and that the rack have a 165 lb capacity, which the Malone roof rack does. I have added a link to a video review for you to take a look at as well of the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216.

  • Opening Rear Hatch and Antenna Clearance with Thule Motion XT # TH629807 on 2019 Subaru Crosstrek
  • As far as the fitment of the Thule Motion XT XL # TH629807 onto your factory crossbars of your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek, you need to make sure that your crossbars do not exceed 3-1/2" wide x 1-11/16" tall. In order to make sure that your bars fit within these parameters, I recommend making a measurement of the width and height of your bars. I did confirm that you have enough space on your roof to fully open the trunk with the # TH629807 installed. For antenna interference, Thule does not...

  • Will UltraSwing Multi-Fit Spare Tire Carrier Fit with etrailer Hitch on 2021 Subaru Crosstrek
  • Hi! The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98912 is a great option for carrying a spare tire at the back of your 2021 Subaru Crosstrek. The face of the receiver is about even with the rearmost part of your bumper so you're looking at about 2-ish inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to that part of your bumper. I didn't see any place about that 4" length of the receiver for the UltraSwing Multi-Fit, but this hitch receiver is open all the way through so it won't get stopped short...

  • Will The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack Be Able To Hold A Roof Top Tent?
  • Yes, the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars 50" # MPG215 will indeed be able to accommodate a roof top tent such as the Smittybilt Overlander. I do, however, recommend going with the slightly longer 58" Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216 as this would be a better option for large accessories such as a roof top tent. The weight capacity for the Malone AirFlow2 is 165lbs which is more than the weight of the Smittybilt Overlander according to the information I found. Both of these...

  • Compatibility of Reese 20x47 Cargo Carrier # 63155 with OEM 1-1/4" Hitch on 2022 Subaru Crosstrek
  • Great question. I went ahead and called my tech at Reese, and he confirmed that the 20x47 Reese Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" Hitches # 63155 will work with your factory 1-1/4" 2022 Subaru Crosstrek. He additionally confirmed that if you have a hitch with a pinhole that is closer to the face of the hitch than other brand hitches, there will not be an issue with this carrier. Although, according to my research, your 1-1/4" hitch is only rated for 200 pounds of maximum tongue weight. If this...

  • Benefit of Class III Trailer Hitch on 2018 Subaru Crosstrek
  • The benefit of having a Class III hitch on your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek such as the Curt # C13382 is that these hitches have a 2" receiver, which will give you more - and better - options in terms of usable accessories such as a bike rack or cargo carrier than if you had a hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver like the Class II Draw-Tite # 36644. Just as a reminder, a hitch with a larger towing capacity will not increase the amount your '18 Crosstrek can tow, it will still be 1,500 lbs. If you are...

  • Will Thule T2 Classic Bike Rack Clear Rear 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Bumper with Curt Hitch Installed
  • With the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12184 installed you will have about 1-1/4" from the closest part of the Thule T2 Classic Bike Rack # TH9045 to your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. From what I can tell that is one of the wheel trays but if any other part of the rack is closer to the vehicle then that's where the 3-1/2" of clearance we're talking about comes into play - so you definitely have enough clearance! Attached is an installation video of the trailer hitch as well as a review video...

  • Will the Rhino-Rack for Factory Tracks # Y02-480B-NT work on My 2019 Subaru Crosstrek (Non-Hybrid)?
  • I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Factory Tracks - 2 Vortex Aero Crossbars # Y02-480B-NT are only designed to fit track systems as opposed to raised factory rails. However, a great alternative complete roof rack system for your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek (non-hybrid) is the Curt Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails # C18118. The Curt Roof Rack comes with rubber-coated clamps secure to raised side rails on your vehicle's roof. With this roof rack, you will be able...

  • Can You Drill Holes in Thule Cargo Box to Fit Shorter Crossbars on 2016 Subaru Crosstrek
  • Yes, you can drill new holes in your Thule cargo box in order to mount this on your 2016 Subaru Crosstrek. When you drill the holes you need to make sure you maintain the correct spacing for your existing mounting hardware. After drilling new holes, I recommend sealing the old holes with # LT37467 Loctite RTV 598 High-Performance Silicone Gasket Maker.
