  • Fit of EchHitch 306-X7257 Hitch on 2017 Subaru WRX With Aftermarket Exhaust
  • That's a tricky question that would be very difficult to answer. The hitches are designed to fit around a stock exhaust. If your aftermarket exhaust sits exactly where the stock exhaust would, then the # 306-X7257 EcoHitch would fit perfectly for you. However, if the aftermarket exhaust is positioned differently or is larger than the stock exhaust you might have problems getting everything to fit together. My best advice would be to check out the linked install video, and pay very close...

  • Recommended Length of Thule Square Crossbars for 2016 Subaru WRX
  • The recommended length of Thule square crossbar for a 2016 Subaru WRX sedan is the 53 inch Thule SquareBar Crossbars # TH712400. For your Subaru's naked roof the rest of the rack is made up of Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710501 and Fit Kit # TH145178. This will give your '16 WRX a highly functional and durable roof rack which gives you the ability to carry all types of different cargo. The crossbars are made of galvanized steel to ensure they are free from rust and and even...

  • Adapting a Thule Bike Rack to a 2018 Subaru WRX with Factory Thule Crossbars
  • The crossbars on your new 2018 Subaru WRX should be an AeroBlade Edge kit, like part # TH7062-TH7603. For any future accessories, you'll want to look for those that fit the Thule AeroBlade type bars. In the case of the Prologue, you're right on in that the XAdapt 9 kit, part # THXADAPT9 is the correct kit to adjust the Prologue to working on the Thule AeroBlade bars.

  • Will Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack Fit 2018 Subaru WRX with EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Installed
  • Yes, the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack # SH22G that you referenced will work perfectly with the EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7257 on your 2018 Subaru WRX. The Sherpa 2.0 features a length of 1-5/8 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of the shank, well under the max 2-1/2 inches that the EcoHitch will allow with a hitch-mounted accessory. This is an excellent platform-style carrier that uses ratcheting hooks to firmly grip the front wheels on your bikes...

  • Can The Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack Be Used With A Class 1 Hitch?
  • Not only is the size of the trailer hitch receiver important, but also the class is important. The Yakima Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches # Y02445 is only to be used on class 2 receivers so it will not work on your class 1 receiver. This is for a couple reasons, one being that class 1 receivers are not designed to hold the weight of some accessories, such as this class 2 bike rack. The second reason is that some hitch manufacturers actually weld in a stopper which blocks...

  • How to Choose Correct Ball Mount for Towing a Trailer with a 2013 Subaru WRX and EcoHitch
  • To choose the correct ball mount/hitch ball combo you simply need to measure the height of the top of the inside of your EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7279 when it is installed on your 2013 Subaru WRX Sedan as well as from the ground to the bottom of your trailer coupler (while it is level!). You then just need a ball mount with a drop if the receiver is higher or a rise if the trailer coupler is higher. The ball mount kit # 989900 is a great option because it comes with...

  • Availability of Fit Kit for Thule Rapid Traverse Foot Pack for a 2015 Subaru WRX
  • The correct fit kit to mount the (discontinued) Thule Rapid Traverse foot pack TH480R to your 2015 Subaru WRX is the discontinued part THKIT1649. Thule has been doing a complete remake of their products and so basically all of their roof rack and bike racks have been changed to a newer style that better accommodates newer vehicles. I reached out to my contact at Thule to see if the newer fit kit will work with the Rapid Traverse foot pack but he said that none of those parts are interchangeable. Luckily...

  • What Bike Rack Fits EcoHitch Trailer Hitch on 2019 Subaru WRX
  • While we do have an option for you to carry bikes with your 2019 Subaru WRX, the RockyMounts SplitRail LS 2-Bike Rack # RKY11404 you asked about requires the hitch pin hole be 1-1/2 inches away from the end (face) of the receiver, though this measurement is 1-1/8 (1.125) inches for the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7257. I did find one bike rack that you can use that is similar to the SplitRail LS from Thule, which is the Thule T2 Pro XT. As you can see by the cut outs...

  • Is the Thule EasyFold XT Compatible with the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • The EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 306-X7257, has a distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outside edge of the receiver of 1-1/8". This is not enough to use the Thule EasyFold XT, part # TH903202, or any other Thule bike rack. Instead, I recommend using the Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack, part # BA22B. It can hold two bikes up to 60 pounds each. It is a wheel-mount rack that has keyed-alike locks. I've linked to a video review of this below.

  • Roof Rack & Bike Rack Recommendation For 2022 Subaru WRX
  • There is a high-quality option for a roof rack and roof-mounted bike rack for your 2022 Subaru WRX, but I checked with the manufacturers, and there are no trunk-mounted bike racks for your Subaru. So you'll need to go with a roof rack, and starting with the rack, the option that fit is from Thule, and consists of the following parts: - Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Silver # TH711300 or Black # TH711320 - Evo Fixpoint Feet for Thule Evo Crossbars # TH49SC - Fit Kit # TH88RE When it comes...

  • Flush Mounted Roof Rack Recommendation For 2018 Subaru WRX
  • We do have an option for a flush-mounted roof rack that fits your 2018 Subaru WRX, and I recommend going with the Rhino-Rack roof rack: - Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack # RR37GR The reason I like the Rhino-Rack is because it is the best overall value for a roof rack; you won't be losing out on quality or functionality, and you'll be getting it at a better price point. Essentially, what you get with Rhino-Rack is a strong, quiet roof rack without having to pay to have a certain brand name...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2021 Subaru WRX Base
  • I recommend the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7257 for your 2021 Subaru WRX Base. This 2" receiver will hide behind the center knock out panel on your rear fascia. The hidden design ensures your WRX looks clean and you will not have a receiver hanging below your rear fascia. The Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56259 will give you a 4 way flat connector. This connector will fit with most small trailers you might tow and can also be used with Auxiliary Lights # C53201. These...

  • How Much Does EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver Weigh For the 2015 Subaru WRX
  • The shipping weight of the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit part # 306-X7257 is about 31 lbs. This hitch fits 2015 - 2019 Subaru WRX. It is a completely hidden design so the hitch is completely out of sight for a clean factory look on the WRX. I have attached a video for your reference.

  • Differences Between Thule FastRide & Thule TopRide Roof Bike Racks
  • The biggest difference is fit; the Thule TopRide Roof Bike Rack # TH75JV fits bikes with a 9-mm quick-release skewer, 9-mm captive, 12-mm and 15-mm thru-axle, and 12-mm and 15-mm Boost thru-axle. The Thule FastRide # TH95JV only fits bikes with a 9-mm captive or 9-mm quick-release skewer, and requires Thru-Axle Adapters # TH58BV to use the rack with 9-mm, 12-mm, or 15-mm thru-axle forks (both require Boost Thru-Axle Adapter # TH38BV for a 20-mm x 110-mm Boost thru-axle). So really, the...

  • Rhino-Rack Roof Rack to Fit Naked Roof on 2016 Subaru WRX
  • I have a similar roof rack that will work for your 2016 Subaru WRX but the Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs RRRS143 that you referenced won't work. Instead you'll need to use the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs # RR37GR which fits the Sedan model and will install in the same manner using clips and hug your door jamb.

  • Fit and Compatibility of Thule Roof Rack Accessories on Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars
  • I was able to go out to our demonstration bay and test fit the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RR37GR with some of the Thule roof bike racks and ski racks for you. I found that the racks like the # TH95JV and # TH7326 are compatible with the Rhino Vortex Aero bars as well as the Thule Aeroblade crossbars. I also found that the T-slot in the Rhino-Rack bar is compatible with the T-slot accessory option that the Thule roof mounted accessories like the # TH95JV has. I have linked the...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2016 Subaru WRX Limited
  • I checked with Curt and trailer hitch # C11408 is indeed listed as a fit for your 2016 Subaru WRX Limited. There is one picture from the instructions which I have added for you. I have also linked the instructions. You will not have to remove the bumper to install the hitch. If you plan on doing some towing the correct ball mount is # C45521. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. And for trailer wiring you can use # C56259 to add a 4-Way flat connector. If...

  • Will a Saris Hitch Pin Lock Work With a Kuat Transfer Bike Rack
  • I do have a hitch pin lock that will work for you but unfortunately a Saris hitch pin lock will most likely not work for your Kuat Transfer, because the lock for the transfer screws into the bike rack not just into the hitch. The Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks # HLT is going to be the hitch pin lock that is compatible with your Kuat Transfer bike rack.
