- Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains for 2018 Subaru Crosstrek
- The correct Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains for your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek if it's equpped with 225/55-18 sized tires is the part # TC1555.
It looks like there was just some discrepancy in the past with regards to the Titan Chain # TC1553 that you mentioned, however these are a just bit too small to comfortably fit this size tire. Nothing has actually changed as it relates to the chains themselves. I have attached a short video review on the correct chains below that you can also check out.

- To get the Curt # C13382 installed on your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, the important part is the 3/4" socket. With the nuts needing to be torqued to 110 foot pounds, I will recommend going with a 1/2 or 3/4 drive, however.

- I have a solution and a great trailer for you but the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer item # MAL43FR has a 14' limit on kayak length. The trailer you referenced will not work with your Perception Cove 14-1/2' model. Instead you will want the Malone MicroSport Trailer with J-Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks item # MPG461G2.
This trailer has a maximum boat weight capacity of 75 lbs per boat, which will be perfect for your 73 lbs Perception Cove 14-1/2' kayak. This trailer can accommodate up to...

- The trailer hitch options for a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek all install pretty much the same, no welding or drilling required. It will take a bit of time for the fishwire portion of the install but it's all bolt-on and easy enough pretty much anyone with little to no mechanical experience can do it. The best part is, we have videos that will walk you through each step. I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98912 which has a hidden design for the best overall aesthetics, a matte...

- I'm certainly glad to hear you've been happy so far, and while there isn't anything that tilts to the side, there is a rack that may remedy the situation, depending on where the camera and sensors are.
The closest thing to a bike rack that tilts to the side is a swing-away rack, the RockyMounts BackStage 2-Bike Rack # RKY10002.
This rack moves all the way to the side, as you can see in the accompanying photo, which may eliminate your Subaru from detecting it as an obstacle. This would...

- I do have an option for you but the bunk boards on the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer part # CE48870 would be much too large for use with rooftop mount accessories. The best option we have to convert this trailer for carrying rooftop mounted accessories is with the Malone Crossbar Conversion Kit part # MPG475 which you'd need to find a way to attach.

- We can definitely get you set up with a ball mount that is properly rated for your towing needs as well as the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7365.
I'll go ahead and list out the ball mount and other parts you'll need for this:

- I took a look in the owners manual of your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek and found that it has a 200lb tongue weight rating, so while the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e98912 has a much higher 525lb tongue weight rating you will still be limited to the lower rating of the vehicle.
These differences are due to the hitch manufacturers testing their hitch independently of the vehicle so it is always recommended to check your vehicles owner's manual and use the lowest rating between the hitch and vehicle....
view full answer... - Best Looking Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek
- I feel the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7365 is the best looking for your 2023 Subaru Crosstrek. This receiver allows you to remove the 2" receiver so when not needed you will not be able to tell your vehicle has a receiver.
I recommend installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118467 when you install the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector that will fit most small trailers you might tow and can also be used with Auxiliary Lights # C53201. These lights...
view full answer... - Recommended 3-Bike Rack For A 2021 Subaru Crosstrek
- The Kuat has a per bike weight capacity of 40lbs so it would not be capable of hauling your ebike. Instead I recommend the RockyMounts SplitRail LS Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # RKY11404-3 which has a per bike weight capacity of 45lbs and is designed to carry 3 bikes. It is going to be a bit more price-wise but that is typical when you switch to a larger rack (2 up to 3 bikes) and when you get one rated for heavier capacities to haul ebikes.
This platform-style rack...

- Yes, the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # KU24FR will easily slide into the 2" receiver of your etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98912. To prevent the theft of your Kuat bike rack from your trailer hitch I recommend the Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks - 2" Hitches # HL2.

- Yes, you are correct on your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek AWD you would only need tire chains on the front wheels. If you have 225/55-18 size tires you will use the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains - 1 Pair item # PW1042 you were looking at. If your Subaru has 225/60-17X tires you will want the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains - 1 Pair item # PW1038.

view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek
- There were no changes from the 2022 to 2023 model year so yes both the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13382 and the etrailer hitch item # e98912 will fit the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek.
These hitches are identical. They are both custom fit and bolt to your Subaru with included hardware. I recommend the etrailer hitch item # e98912 over the Curt. The etrailer hitch has a matte black finish which offers superior rust protection but the main advantage of it is that it blends in better beneath your...
view full answer... - How Far Does the Malone AirFlow2 # MPG216 and # MPG215 Extend Past the Rails of a 2021 Crosstrek?
- I have a great way to tell how far the Malone AirFlow2 - 58" # MPG216 and the 50" # MPG215 extend past the rails of your 2021 Subaru Crosstrek. While we do not have the specific spread between your roof rails, you can definitely measure the length of your rails from one side to the other to get a rough estimate. You simply factor in the 58" or 50" length based on the rail spread. This is the best route in determining the crossbar overhang on your vehicle. However, I did attach a video that...
