Expert Answers about Subaru Crosstrek


  • Roof Bike Carriers to Fit Factory Elliptical Crossbars on 2017 Subaru Crosstrek
  • The aero/elliptical type Subaru OEM crossbars are fairly large but many aftermarket roof-rack-mount bike carriers will fit them. All of our Subaru-friendly roof bike carriers are shown on the linked page, including carriers like the Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103. I contacted both Thule-USA and Yakima to see if either made the bike rack for Mini Cooper but this is not the case. The OEM Mini Cooper Touring roof bike rack might have an available adapter to allow installation on other cross...

  • Thule Roof-Rack-Mount Bike Carrier That Fits Factory Bars on 2017 Subaru Crosstrek
  • There is no adapter to allow mounting the Thule Big Mouth bike carrier TH599XTR to oval bars unless they are Thule's AeroBlade or Rapid Aero bars. In that case you would use Thule adapter # Xadapt2. For a carrier that is a direct fit to the Subaru crossbars (if you have the Subaru roof rack) use the Thule UpRide # TH599000. This carrier holds the bike at the front wheel. I have linked a video review of this carrier for you. All roof-mount bike racks for factory bars are shown on the linked...

  • Does Curt In-Line Echo Brake Controller Require Brake Output Circuit of Vehicle to be Active
  • On the vehicle side of the trailer wiring the brake output circuit is not required to be active to use the Curt In-Line Echo part # C79DR. This controller creates this circuit essentially right behind the 7-way which is why it's not needed.

  • EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2021 Subaru Crosstrek
  • According to EcoHitch, the # 306-X7203 isn't a fit to for the 2021 Crosstrek, as there have been changes to the rear of of the vehicle between the 2018 model and the 2021 model that would prevent the hitch from fitting. The good news is that EcoHitch has a completely concealed hitch available for the 2021 model, part # 306-X7365. The receiver tube of the hitch is completely removable, so when the hitch isn't being used and you remove the receiver tube and the hitch will be 100% hidden...

  • Platform Bike Rack that Holds Electric Bikes at Frame and is Rated for 60 Pounds Per Bike
  • Thank you for your continued patronage. We greatly appreciate it! There are options for 60 pound bikes that hold the bikes at the frame and that have a center mast that folds down. Saris Freedom # SA4412B rated for 60 pounds per bike, center folds down, holds bikes at frame. That Thule rack is an excellent rack but I agree with you that it is on the expensive side. Rest assured as soon as we get some electric bikes you will see them in videos. Or if you want to drive down to St. Louis...

  • Comparing Thule Passage and Saris Bones Bike Rack
  • If I personally had to choose between the two, I'd go with the Thule # TH911XT. I actually prefer the looks of the # SA805BL Saris Bones, but I don't care for the way that the weight of the bikes and the rack rest on feet that small. Spreading the weight over a larger area like the Archway does lessens the chances that the vehicle will be damaged, and makes the whole unit more stable. Both rack manufacturer offers a limited lifetime warranty, so you really can't go wrong either way. If...

  • Is there a trailer hitch receiver and trailer connector for 2023 Subaru Crosstrek?
  • I confirmed that the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver 2" # e98838 is a fit for your 2023 Subaru Crosstrek. This is a heavy duty 2" receiver, which is the most common size for accessories and ball mounts. I like that the matte black paint helps the receiver blend in and look OEM. If you plan to pull a trailer then you will want a wiring harness to power the trailer lights. For this, you can use this simple plug-in harness # 118467. For a trailer ball mount, I recommend this handy Etrailer...
