Expert Answers about Subaru Outback Wagon

• Comparing Thule CS-10 and CG-9 Tire Chains
• There isn't a Thule CK-7 tire chain so between the CG-9 and the CS-10 I believe the CS-10 would be better for you since it has ice breakers built into the chains and will install much easier. The Thule CS-10 tire chain has an external quick release system, they are self tensioning (just put them on and go), they have 10 millimeters clearance inside and on the tread, they feature a diamond pattern with icebreaker reinforcements for added grip, they have anti-scratch nylon bumpers to protect...

• Will Higher Load Range Tires on 2017 Coachmen Clipper Be Beneficial
• You can definitely replace the load range D tires on your 2012 Coachmen Clipper with the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 # AM10140. The higher load range will result in the tire lasting longer so there is a benefit. The load range E tires have a higher ply rating so they're a bit stronger and will run a little cooler increasing the life of the tire.

• Class II Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon
• If it were me I would get a Class III, 2 inch trailer hitch because there are more options for accessories. But if you want to go with a Class II hitch there are still many options for bike racks available. Between Draw-Tite hitch # 36493 and Curt hitch # C12290 I would choose the Draw-Tite trailer hitch for a couple of reasons. First, it costs slightly less and saving money is always a good thing. And second, the Draw-Tite hitch does NOT require the use of a stabilization strap when using...

• What is the Difference Between the Thule Gateway Pro 2 and the Saris Bones 2 Bike Racks?
• One of the main differences between the Thule Gateway Pro 2 # TH88VR and the Saris Bones 2 # SA805BL is that the Gateway Pro 2 includes an integrated cable lock that secures the bikes to the rack. Even though the Saris Bones 2 does not include a lock that secures your bikes to the rack, you can purchase the Saris Cable Lock - 8' Long # SA981 to get that added security. Also, for both the Gateway Pro 2 and the Saris Bones 2, you can purchase the Thule Passive Security Strap for Trunk Mounted...

• Recommended Hidden Hitch for a Bike Rack on a 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon
• I would be happy to help you choose a trailer hitch so you can keep using your Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack # NV22B or # NV22G on your 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon. Although the 3 hitches you mentioned to feature the hidden crosstube design, the Stealth Hitches option # 391SUOB20 is a completely different animal so I'll start off by comparing the Curt # C67JR and EcoHitch # EH34FR options first. The Curt and EcoHitch and essentially the same thing with the main difference being price and the materials...

• Comparison of Available Trailer Hitches for 2022 Subaru Outback
• Both hitches offer higher capacities than the maximum towing and tongue weight capacity specified in the owner's manual (3500GTW/350TW for 2.4L or 2700GTW/270TW for 2.5L equipped models) so the slight differences in capacity between the Curt # C67JR and the Draw-Tite # DT94YR are irrelevant. You're correct, both hitches would be mostly concealed once installed with the receiver tube opening and safety chain loops being the only visible portion of the hitch. Because the hitch is manufactured...

• Thule vs Yakima Roof-Mounted Bike Rack for 2018 Subaru Outback With Factory Roof Rack
• Thanks for the nice words, and let's start with fit; I did check with the manufacturers and can confirm that all three roof-mounted bike racks you mentioned - the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack # TH599000, Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack # Y02114, and Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Rack # Y02103 are each a confirmed fit for the factory roof rack on your 2018 Subaru Outback. Let's start with the Yakima, and the difference is that the HighRoad is the newest version of the FrontLoader -...

• How to Pick Between the Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 2 inch Hitches and the 1-1/4 inch Version
• The Yakima Hold Up part # Y02445 for 1-1/4 inch hitches would not be any more or less stable than the 2 inch version of the rack, part # Y02443. Either would work great depending on what size hitch you have. The best way to pick between the two would be to go with the one that is designed to fit the hitch you have on your vehicle. I attached a help article on hitch sizes for you to check out as well.

• Differences Between Curt 13494 and 13437 Class III Hitches
• There are differences. The differences lie in the fitment and capacities of each hitch. The Curt 13494 which we sell as part # C67JR fits the 2020-2022 Subaru Outback and 2020-2021 Subaru Legacy models of the same model years. The hitch has a 3500 lb towing/350 lb tongue weight rating. The Curt 13437 which we offered as # CU89FR has recently been discontinued and is therefore no longer available. It fit the same vehicles as the # C67JR, but was also a fit for the 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness....

• Comparing Curt and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon
• The only difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C67JR and our etrailer Receiver # e25TR is the gloss powder coat on the Curt versus the matte powder coat on the etrailer. Both will fit your 2022 Subaru Outback the same as we have our etrailer receiver produced by Curt. With the USA made quality and attention to detail of the Curt receiver we know we can stand behind their product as our own. Personally I feel the matte finish on the etrailer blends in best with the fascia...

• Comparing Class III Receiver for 2012 Subaru Outback
• Draw-Tite #75673 has 7 inch distance between the receiver hitch pin hole and the furthest rearward portion of the rear bumper when installed on a 2011 model Subaru Outback Wagon. Although the hitch will attach to the vehicle using existing holes in the frame, a 1-1/8 inch hole saw will be needed to drill an access hole in the frame member on both the driver and passenger side. This hole is necessary in order to feed installation hardware into the frame as shown in the install instructions...

• What is the Best Quality Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon
• I wish I had exact figures I could provide you with but this information is not easily accessible. Unfortunately, the returns due to fitment are mostly related to shipping. The boxes can become damaged depending on how they are treated upon arrival to the customer so there are many variables at play, ones that could not be accurately predicted. If the trailer hitch does arrive and it does not quiet line up, most of the time a slight bend is all that is required so you won't be stuck waiting...

• Comparing Curt Trailer Hitch Receivers # 13390 & # C13410 for a 2012 Subaru Outback Wagon
• The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13410 will look better on your 2012 Subaru Outback Wagon than the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13390. Since the # C13410 has a hidden cross tube less of the receiver is visible. When it comes to installation most will likely prefer the # 13390 as it does not involve removing the rear fascia to fit the receiver behind the bumper impact structure. As you mentioned both receivers have the same rating of 600lbs tongue weight and trailer rating of 4,000lbs.

• How Much Does the Curt C13410 and Draw-Tite 76227 Hitch Weigh for a 2015 Subaru Outback
• The lightest trailer hitch for a 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13410 at around 27 lbs follow by the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76227 at about 30 lbs. I think these are both great options because of the hidden cross tube but personally prefer Curt over Draw-Tite.

• Differences Between Curt and Hidden Hitch for a 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon
• For some vehicles there are hitches available that do not have visible cross tubes. For your 2016 Subaru Outback wagon there are only options like the part # C13206 that have visible crosstubes. While the Curt hitch part # C13206 and the Draw-Tite part # 75673 are pretty similar they have some differenced that would account for the weight difference. The Curt uses a round cross tube whereas the Draw-Tite uses a square tube. The side brackets of the Curt hitch are actually larger and use...

• What is Difference Between Draw Tite Trailer Hitches that Fit 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon
• The two Draw Tite hitches that fit your 2022 Subaru Ouback Wagon part numbers # DT94YR and # DT73RR have different advantages but the best in my opinion is the part # DT94YR as it has a mostly hidden appearance due to only the hitch opening hanging below the rear bumper which also helps with ground clearance. But it's doesn't install quite as easily as the # DT73RR which also has the higher towing capacities.

• Comparing Inno Rooftop Cargo Box 2020 Vs Inno Rooftop Box 320
• Both the Inno Box 2020 Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft # IN86FR and Inno Box 320 Rooftop Cargo Box - 9 cu ft # IN94FR will fit well on the roof of your 2021 Subaru Outback. Since the Inno Box 2020 is so much larger it will make more wind noise and be more noticeable on your roof top. Both boxes will have the same mounting crossbar spread of 24-39". So it really come down to if you need the extra 5 cubic feet of cargo space for the larger box.

• Thule Tire Chain Comparison for a 2013 Subaru Outback
• The Thule CG9 Tire Chains, # TH2004205104, and the CB12 Chains, # TH01221104, are both Class S compatible tire chains and will fit the P225/60R17 tires on your 2013 Subaru Outback. The main difference between the CG9 and CB12 chains is that the CB12 tire chains are manual tensioning chains and the CG9 chains are have automatic tensioning. The CB12 chains are also rated for off-road and on-road use. The CG9 chains are for on-road use only. I would go with the CG9 chains. The automatic tensioning...
