You are correct that using a hitch extender such as the #e88YR will reduce the hitch's total tongue weight capacity by 50%, so if your daughter's hitch normally supports 350 lbs TW, with the adapter it can support only 175 lbs.
I contacted Yakima in regard to using a hitch extender off of a swinging arm such as the the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches # Y02483, and they are strongly against using it this way. Although the arm is rated to support up... view full answer...

Any trailer hitch whose receiver tube is positioned below a vehicle's rear bumper is going to reduce ground clearance and approach angle to some degree. The actual clearance lost depends on many factors including wheel/tire size, passenger and cargo load in the vehicle and the general condition of the suspension. On a newer vehicle like your 2016 Subaru Crosstrek it is not too likely that your suspension is sagging but this does matter on older vehicles.

To install a 7-Way harness on your 2024 Subaru Crosstrek you will need two separate wiring harnesses because they don't make just one that'll do the job.
The first harness you'll need is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C56040. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Subaru's wiring harness, which is located behind the interior trim panel in your rear cargo area. It will provide you with a 4-way connector.
The second harness you will need is the Universal Installation... view full answer...
The EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7365 you were looking at for a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek does have a 2" square opening. The corners are rounded and not a sharp edge allowing you to use Class III 2" accessories and ball mounts. We do sell a 24" Hitch Bar # D36 which will fit inside the tube if you are trying to fabricate your own hitch mounted accessories. view full answer...
The thickness of the steel that the Curt safety chain loop part # C81288 uses is 9/16 of an inch. The chain you have would have to pass through a 5/8 inch opening to fit into 7/8 inch wide pocket so a 1/4 inch diameter chain would easily work with this. Check out the attached picture to see more dimensions as well. view full answer...
We have checked with our vendor quite a few times about the etrailer Hitch item # e98912 not fitting the hybrid model Crosstreks because this hitch fits seven different model years. Their answer has always been that there is something that blocks the hitch being installed that isn't on the regular model Crosstrek's. We have had multiple reviews and comments from customer's over the years backing this statement up.
The only option currently available for a class III hitch with a 2" receiver... view full answer...

No they do not. The pewag Servo RS Tire Chains item # PWRS75 do not fit 225/60 R-17 tires. I confirmed this information with Pewag.
For a comparable set that does fit your 2021 Subaru Crosstrek with 225/60 R-17 tires, I recommend the Konig Tire Chains item # TH01221104. These tire chain have square links that provide traction in both snow and ice, a self-tensioning mechanism to make installing easier, and a diamond pattern for a smoother ride.

The RockyMounts MonoRail Solo, part # RKY10007, can handle e-bikes up to 60 pounds. So, it will be able to handle your e-bike perfectly well.
The reason the expert stated it's "not for you if you need to carry an extra-heavy electric bike" is because some e-bikes can weigh all the way up to 75 pounds. We have carriers that can handle this much, but the MonoRail Solo isn't one of them.
Still, this rack will be great for your bike. I've linked to a video review of this rack for you to look at. view full answer...

I would be happy to help you clear up the confusion! To control a trailer's brakes with your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek you are going to need to add a 7-way connector and a brake controller. If you do not already have a 4-way harness like item # C56040 you'll need to install one of those as well. There isn't just a 7-way connector available that will work with your Subaru.
You will also want to check what kind of connection the trailer you are towing has. Some small trailers, like the ones... view full answer...
Thanks for the pictures and all the information!
