Expert Answers about Subaru WRX


  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring for 2019 Subaru WRX
  • For a lot of cars it can be difficult to decipher what the best trailer hitch receiver is because of the similarities, but for your 2019 Subaru WRX, the best hitch is very easily the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7257 for a number of key reasons. The first reason is that it is the only hitch for a '19 WRX with a 2 inch receiver, which is important because it will allow you to carry more and heavier accessories. In a number of our customer reviews and photos, you'll see...

  • Recommended Trunk-Mount Bike Rack for 2019 Subaru WRX Sti with Large Spoiler
  • For your 2019 Subaru WRX Sti with large factory spoiler I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 carrier # Y02634 or the 3-bike version # Y02633 because both are specifically designed to work with this vehicle feature. Both of the FullBack racks include locks, have adjustable arms that can be moved to provide the best fit with your bikes' frames and both install using only 4 straps, instead of the more typical 6 mounting straps found on most other trunk-mount racks. You can refer to the linked...

  • Parts Needed to Tow Motorcycle Trailer with 2016 Subaru WRX
  • Only option would be to tow a small trailer for the motorcycle. There are no hitches available that have the needed capacity to carry a 400 lb motorcycle and carrier. The Curt Class I hitch part # C11408 is a fit for your vehicle and would work well for towing a lightweight trailer as long it weighs less than 2k loaded. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. For trailer wiring you would need the part # C56259 which is a confirmed fit. For a ball mount you...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2019 Subaru WRX
  • The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2019 Subaru WRX is the EcoHitch part # 306-X7257 as it has a 2 inch opening and the best towing capacities. What's also really great is that it installs behind the bumper access panel which gives you a hidden look when not needed plus better ground clearances compared to other hitches that hang below the rear bumper. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. Then for trailer wiring the best kit is the Curt part # C56259 as...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2016 Subaru WRX
  • Curt trailer hitch # C11408 exits under the rear fascia on the 2016 Subaru WRX. It does not exit through any factory access panel. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to look over. The receiver and the cross tube will be visible under the rear fascia. If you decide to go with this hitch then the correct ball mount to use is # C45521. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. And for trailer wiring use # C56259 to add a 4-Way flat connector...

  • 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness to Fit 4-Way on Trailer
  • Yes, the 4-way that comes with the # C56259 that you referenced is the same style of connector in the picture that you sent me. On your trailer is the male side and with this harness you would have the female side to connect to it. Everything else you mentioned would work just fine with your trailer.

  • Locking Hitch Pin Compatible with Curt Bike Rack and EcoHitch Receiver on 2018 Subaru WRX
  • The EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7257 is a great option for your 2018 Subaru WRX. There are many bike racks compatible with that trailer hitch which is only slightly recessed behind the fascia as you can see in the attached photo. The Curt 4 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # C18087 will work well with that hitch and will tilt for cargo access. It has two styles of folding for storage when not in use, and I've attached videos to assist. The SportRack Anti-Rattle Hitch...

  • Trailer Hitch Fit for 2017 Subaru WRX
  • The hitch you currently have will not fit a 2017 Subaru WRX. The WRX is different enough from the XV that it requires it's own fit. For that the Curt hitch part # C11408 would be what you would need. I attached an install video for this hitch on a 2017 WRX for you to check out as well.

  • Trailer Hitch that Fits 2023 Subaru WRX
  • At this time we only have one hitch that fits the 2023 Subaru WRX and it's the larger 2 inch hitch size. It's the part # 76271. There isn't a 1-1/4 inch Class I hitch available for your vehicle. The Class III 2 inch hitch size is usually the more desirable option as it has higher capacities and also has more accessories made for it. The 21' hitch fits do not transfer over to the 23's.

Take a look at the installation instructions I have linked that shows some pictures of the hitch position. If you plan on doing some towing the correct ball mount to use is # C45521.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and 2-Bike Rack for 2017 Subaru WRX
  • I have an answer and solution for you but the BikeWing formally known as the VeeMe has been discontinued. The Curt trailer hitch # C11408 you were looking at is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Subaru WRX and will require the stabilization strap # 18050 for the bike rack per the warranty of the hitch. With a Class I hitch you will be limited to 2-bike Class I rated bike racks, which the BikeWing/VeeMe was rated for. While we have not had a chance to install this hitch on a 2017 Subaru...

  • Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack that Accepts 27.5 Inch Wheels and a 50 Inch Wheelbase
  • I recommend the Swagman Trailhead # S63365 is a 3-bike holder which accepts up to a 50-inch wheelbase. The wheel size does not matter in this case. This budget-friendly rack is becoming quite popular due to its low price and light weight. Getting the 3-bike version gives you some extra room between bikes. If you prefer to stick with the 2-bike version of this, the part number is # S63360.

  • For your 2018 Subaru WRX, the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7257 is a confirmed fit. There is no drilling required, but there is some minor fascia trimming and heat shield trimming required. This hitch will be hidden and will use the factory knockout panel location. I've attached a photo of this fit to assist as well. For your wiring harness, I recommend the Curt Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56259 which is a confirmed fit.

  • Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Subaru WRX STI
  • The Curt hitch you mentioned part # C11408 has a tech tip that states it is not a fit for the STI models of the 2015 WRX so it is most likely not what you have. That being said let's see about finding you a bike rack that will clear your vehicle. For a platform bike rack that would stick out further than a Pro Rack the Thule T2 part # TH9045 has a distance of 18 inches from the hitch pin hole to the nearest bike tray so it would definitely give you the clearance you need. The Kuat # N102...

  • Parts Needed To Tow a Trailer With Brakes Using a 2016 Mazda CX-9
  • In order to setup a 2016 Mazda CX-9 for towing a trailer with brakes you'll first need a trailer hitch for which I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76020. Then you can add the wiring, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118278 would be what you need to start as that's all that is available but you can easily convert this 7-way using the 4 to 7-Way and 4-Way Adapter part # ETBC7L. This kit also comes with everything you need to add a wireless brake controller...

  • Roof Cargo Basket that Can fit Thule Aeroblade Roof Rack of 2021 Subaru WRX
  • The crossbar spread requirements for the Curt cargo basket part # C18115 are pretty restrictive as it can only fit the spreads of 15", 22", or 29". This means it would not work for you but you could instead use the Rhino Rack cargo basket part # RMCB02 which fits the spread range of 25-1/2" - 43".
