  • Recommended Tire Chains for 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek
  • Tire chains do come in several varieties and some need more space within the wheel wells than others in order to operate safely. There are actual chains like # TC1138 and also the "spring chain" or cable type such as # PW1038 which require far less space. Both of these chain products fit the 225/55R17 tires on your Crosstrek and you can see these and others for your tire size on the linked page. The auto maker always gets the final word on use of any type of tire traction device to be...

  • Will the Rhino-Rack Fairing Fit the OEM Crossbars on a 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek
  • The Rhino-Rack Fairing, # RRRF2, that you referenced may work with the OEM crossbars on your 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek. It was not designed for factory crossbars, but it will fit crossbars up to 3-1/2 inches wide and between 7/8 inch and 1-1/4 inch tall. Your crossbars must also have 30-1/2 inches between the crossbar legs and 38 inches between the side rails for the fairing to fit. The Rhino-Rack fairings are going to be the closest fit option that we have for OEM crossbars. The fairings...

  • Will the Pro Series Cargo Carrier # 63155 Fit on a 2013 Subaru Crosstrek With Factory 1-1/4 Hitch
  • You will have no problem inserting the shank of the Pro Series Cargo Carrier, # 63155, into the 1-1/4 inch receiver on your new 2013 Subaru Crosstrek. The important factor to consider when using this cargo carrier on your vehicle is cargo carrier to bumper clearance. To find this clearance, we need to take one simple measurement. You will want to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on your trailer hitch receiver to the furthest back point on your bumper (see photo). If that...

  • Will the Curt Roof Mount Cargo Basket Fit a 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek with Factory Crossbars
  • To determine if the Curt cargo basket # C18115 will fit your 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek with factory crossbars you will need to take a couple of measurements. You are going to measure the width of the bars and the distance from the center of the front bar to the center of the rear bar. The Curt basket will fit if the crossbars are up to 3 inches wide and the bars are at least 15 inches apart on center. I have included links to the instructions and a video review of this basket.

  • Fit of Thule Roof-Mounted Cargo Basket # TH859XT on 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek
  • Any time a piece of equipment is attached to the roof of your vehicle, there will be a perceptible effect on your gas mileage, although it is not possible to say exactly how much of an effect there will be because of all the variables involved. The basket alone on your roof will have a small, but noticeable effect. Any items placed in the basket that extend above the top rail of the basket will have a further negative effect on your mileage. For this reason, I recommend that folks remove...

  • Rooftop Cargo Basket Compatible with Factory Crossbars on 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek
  • Inno's Shaper 80 Roof Cargo Basket # INXA568 is an aluminum channel-mount type that will only fit on roof rack bars that have a top channel designed to accept such accessories. Some aftermarket roof racks like the Rhino-Rack Vortex (parts # RRVA118B-2 and # RRSX100) have such a channel in their crossbars but based on my research your Crosstrek factory bars do not have this feature. Although we don't have an Inno basket to fit your factory bars we do have other brands of rooftop carrier...

  • Will EcoHitch Invisi Hitch & Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack Fit 2013 Subaru Crosstrek
  • Good question, and the receiver measures a full three inches from the face of the hitch to the back of the EcoHitch Invisi which fits your 2013 Subaru Crosstrek, which is the following part: - EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7203 More specifically, the # 306-X7203 measures 2-1/2 inches from the front of the receiver to the center of the hitch pin hole, and 1/2 inch from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the receiver.

  • Bike Rack and Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek
  • The correct Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver for your 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek is part # C13135. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13409 that you referenced is for a Subaru Forester and will not fit your Subaru XV Crosstrek. I have attached an install photo/video for you as well. For a bike rack, the Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack part # SA4412B that you were looking at is an excellent choice because it will work with a ton of different types of bike frames. It is also super lightweight...

  • Differences Between a Class I and Class III Hitch for Carrying Bikes on a 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek
  • You're right, there are no Class II trailer hitches available for the 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek. This is because of the vehicle's ability to tow larger trailers when equipped with the larger Class III hitches. There are very few reasons to use a Class III trailer hitch for your proposed applications. I've included a link to a few of our help articles that dive further into this below, but in summary, you'd want the Class III if you're a fan of having more options and flexibility or think...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2015 Subaru Crosstrek and Tongue Weight Capacity
  • I do have thoughts, but start with the trailer hitch receiver fits for your 2015 Subaru Crosstrek if you don't have one yet, for which the best option is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98838. This hitch is very similar, with the same installation and clearances as the other hitches that fit your '15 Crosstrek, the Draw-Tite # 76084 and Curt # C13135, but with a matte black finish that will help hide any scratches to help maintain a clean aesthetic. As for the tongue weight, you...

  • Will the Yakima HullRaiser Kayak Carrier Fit Factory Crossbars on a 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek
  • The MightyMounts will not allow you to use the regular HullRaiser, # Y04039, with the factory bars on your 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek. However, all you will need to get your HullRaiser to fit is the HullRaiser to HullRaiser Aero Conversion Kit, # Y8860031. This kit replaces the standard hardware on the HullRaiser with new hardware that will fit the factory Subaru bars. You will need to order 2 kits for a complete conversion.

  • Putting a Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 onto a 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek with Factory/OEM Crossbars
  • The Yakima RocketBox Pro 14, part # Y07192 is a verified fit with Yakima for the 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek with OEM Aero crossbars that are not branded WhispBar. The clamp mounts are adjustable to a variety of sizes and should fit easily. If not, you can use the Universal MightyMounts, part # Y03590 that are designed to fit most other shaped roof bars and are easy to switch to from your current clamps. Specifically, the distance between the center of your two crossbars will need to be...

  • Will the Thule Outbound Roof Mount Cargo Bag Fit a 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek
  • You can use the Thule Outbound cargo bag, # TH868, on your 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek. The bag is 36 inches long so if it cannot fit between the bars then it can set on the bars, it will just sag in the middle. I do recommend a protective pad, # RL100650, to not only protect the roof but to also help keep the bag in place. I have included a link to a video review of the cargo bag for you.

  • Will the Yakima RidgeBack Bike Carrier Fit a Curt Trailer Hitch on a 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek
  • Technically, yes, the Yakima RidgeBack, # Y02457, will fit the Curt trailer hitches available for the 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek. But there are 2 hitches for the vehicle: # C13135 is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver opening. Hitch # C11286 is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The Yakima rack will fit both but it is made for Class II and III hitches, not Class I hitches. If you have a Class I hitch I recommend a different rack such as the Trailhead, # S63360. If...
