  • Which Thule Aeroblade Cross Bars for 2017 Subaru Crosstrek
  • The correct Thule Aeroblade Edge Roof Rack kit for the 2017 Subaru Crosstrek Limited is the # TH7502-TH7502 for the aluminum/silver bars or the # TH7502B-TH7502B for the black bars. These bars are 32-3/4" long and are designed to fit on the raised side rails on your Crosstrek. If your Crosstrek has the naked roof you'll need to use parts # TH7601-TH7602 and # THKIT3068 for an aluminum/silver bar or the # TH7601B-TH7602B and # THKIT3068 for black bars. The front bars on these kits are...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek
  • The owner's manuals I'm able to find online for a 2016 and 2017 Subaru Crosstrek don't mention flat towing at all. Your best bet is to check with Subaru to find out if it can be flat towed, and what steps are necessary to do so. From what I have found both model years can be flat towed since you have a manual transmission but I still recommend verifying with Subaru. Also, both models use the same parts to be flat towed so what I recommend works with either the 2016 or the 2017. For...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek with Manual Transmission
  • To get your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek set up for flat towing I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-52927-5 because I think it has a slightly easier installation than some others. Then the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e74ZR paired with the Replacement Base Pins # RM-910029 to attach to the base plate. The etrailer tow bar will come with the needed safety chains. I prefer the installed braking systems because you wont have to mess with moving the system in and out...

  • Roof Rack Needed to Carry a Roof Top Tent with a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek
  • It really depends on what roof top tent you are looking at. If you are looking into the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent # Y07436 then you will need to have raised rails and use the roof rack that consists of the Jetstream Bars # Y00426 , along with the TimberLine Towers # Y33TR. If you would like to add lock cores to your roof rack you can use part # Y07204. I have attached a clip from the product page where you can see some of the stipulations about fit. The roof rack must be rated for 165 lbs...

  • Parts Needed to Install a 7-way on a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek For a Brake Controller

You will want to install the # 118467 and then adapt that 4-way into a 7-way using the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 (the only way to get a 7-way is to install a 4-way and adapt it into a 7-way).

  • What Stabilizing Strap is Needed for Curt Class I Hitch C11286 for 2016 Subaru Crosstrek
  • The strap they're referring to is # 18050. One end of the strap would loop around the upright of the bike rack, the other would clip into the seam between the hatch and the vehicle roof. I've linked you to a video showing how that works. Because of the small wing above the rear window that the strap would need to pass over, I'm not sure I'd be comfortable using the strap, my fear being that the strap could abrade the paint over time or damage the wing. So this leaves you with three options....

  • Easy to Install Tire Chains for 2018 Subaru Crosstrek
  • It sounds like you're describing the Konig Easy Fit tire chains. There's a red cable that runs underneath the tire when you install them. I've linked a video of how they go on but it doesn't do a good job of showing the red cable in my opinion. The picture I've attached points it out though. Your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek should have either 225/55-18 or 225/60-17 size tires from the factory. For either of those two sizes the correct Easy Fit is part # TH04115240. These are the easiest...

  • Tongue Weight Rating For A Draw-Tite Hitch 1-1/4 Using A 1-1/4 To 2 Inch Adapter
  • After installing The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36644 onto your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek, the hitch has a tongue weight of 350 pounds. You're only as strong as your weakest component, so you would need to check your vehicle's manual to find the proper tongue weight recommendation for your vehicle. To make your 1-1/4 inch hitch to a 2 inch hitch The Hitch Adapter # HTAD is needed. Using this adapter will cut the tongue weight in half so 350 pounds of tongue weight turns into 175 pounds...

  • Are There any Locking Knobs for the MaxxTow Basket # MT70115?
  • I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately, there are not any locking knobs that work with the MaxxTow Roof Mounted Cargo Basket model 70115. However, a great way to include security to your basket is by purchasing the Saris Cable Lock - 8' Long # SA981. With the Saris cable lock, you will be able to wrap the cable around your crossbars and your rails on your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. This way, it will add an extra layer of security to deter the theft of your basket.
