Expert Answers about Subaru Legacy


  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2014 Subaru Legacy for Carrying Specialized Stumpjumper
  • Most of the Specialized Stumpjumper bike racks have an alternative styled frame without a straight top tube. You'd need the bike adapter bar part # UB01 to allow a trunk mounted bike rack to carry it. Then for a bike rack the Yakima Fullback part # Y02634 that you referenced would be a great choice. This is one of the nicest trunk racks around which would work well for you. It's easy to use, comes with locks, and has a large pad to evenly distribute the weigth of the bike and rack on your...

  • Ski Rack and Roof Rack Recommendations for a 2018 Subaru Legacy
  • How you transport is really up to you. Your 2018 Subaru Legacy is still extremely new, so fits are being added all the time, and Subarus have a reputation for being incredibly flexible. If you want to go with the full rack, or have other possible items to carry like bikes, kayaks or cargo, I recommend using a Yakima roof rack system. This has the added benefit of letting you use a wide variety of accessories and adds a more rough and tumble look to the car. To add this kit to your vehicle,...

  • Recommended Kayak Carrier for 2017 Subaru Legacy
  • When it comes to trying to find the best fit for kayaks with different shaped hulls, I prefer jointed saddle style carriers like the Rhino-Rack Nautic 581 # RR581. These are channel mounted carriers similar to the Yakima SweetRoll # Y04074 you were asking from. I recommend the Nautic 581 instead though because they have t-track mounts that will work well with your Rhino Rack crossbars on your 2017 Subaru Legacy. Those separated saddles are nice because they can adjust to support your hull's...

  • Recommended 2 Inch Hitch Receiver For Bike Rack On 2010 Subaru Legacy GT Wagon
  • For your 2010 Subary Legacy GT Wagon, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2" # 75673. This is a sturdy, square tube design with a black powder coat finish over an e-coat base for superior rust protection. It comes with all the hardware needed. I've attached a video to help. This trailer hitch receiver will work very well with your bike rack.

  • Are There 2 inch Hitches Available for 2019 Subaru Legacy
  • Curt and Draw Tite tend to be a little more on the traditional side when it comes to hitch size availability if that makes sense. What I mean by that is if it's a smaller vehicle they stick with the smaller hitch size as that's the most appropriate and relevant option. They fear that allowing people to use a hitch accessory made for a 2 inch hitch increases the risk of someone overloading the hitch/vehicle. Now with that said Curt makes a 2 inch hitch for the 2019 Subaru Legacy with the...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Subaru Legacy with Best Ground Clearance
  • For your 2019 Subaru Legacy the hitch that fits tightest to the vehicle and has best ground clearance is the EcoHitch part # 306-X7384 which only has the hitch opening that hangs below the rear bumper. This helps have it sit the highest but also around corners with elevation changes where the ground clearance issues are the most common this would have no clearance issues at all since there are no portions of the hitch that hang down lower on sides of the vehicle.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Subaru Legacy for Use with a Bike Rack
  • The difference is what vehicles each of those hitches will fit. Trailer hitch # C13206 fits 2014 to 2016 Subaru Outbacks. And # 13390 fits the 2015 to 2016 Legacy and 2010 to 2013 Outback. So if you have a 2016 Legacy use # 13390. But if you choose this hitch then Curt says that you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using the hitch with a bike rack to comply with their warranty. What I recommend is the Draw-Tite hitch # 75673. It does not require that strap and it costs ever...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2017 Subaru Legacy for Use with 1-1/4 Inch Bike Rack
  • Since all of the trailer hitches that were available for the 2007 Camry were Class II hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers your bike rack is likely made to fit a 1-1/4 inch receiver. So to use that same bike rack you can get a Class II hitch for your 2017 Subaru Legacy. The Class II Draw-Tite hitch that fits is # 36493. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation of this hitch for you.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1998 Subaru Legacy GT Wagon with 2.5 liter
  • For your 1998 Subaru Legacy the Roadmaster Base Plate kit part # 909-3 is a confirmed fit that would work well. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have...

  • Subaru Legacy 2004 Snow Chain Recommendation
  • The best way to determine what axles of your vehicle should have snow chains installed on them is to check the owners manual of your 2004 Subaru Legacy to see what they recommend and if there are any restrictions. Having chains on all wheels is ideal though as that will give you the best traction for stopping, turning, and accelerating. You don't want to run chains on dry pavement ever. That will wear them out very quickly and will damage the road. Chains typically have a speed rating...

  • Roof Rack Recommendations for 2014 Subaru Legacy
  • The # RTS508 you referenced is meant for use on the Range Rover Sport, which have holes installed in the roof for the tracks to connect to. This track system wouldn't work on your Legacy. Assuming that your 2014 Subaru Legacy has a bare roof, I'd recommend the Rhino Rack Euro Style Aero Bar Roof Rack, which is made up of # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK078. These racks clamp to the roof using clips that grab onto the inside top door jambs of the vehicle. The clips are plastic coated,...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for 2002 Subaru Legacy Special Edition Wagon
  • For your Legacy Wagon, a plug and play option is not available. The trailer connector would need to be hard wired, using a universal kit like the # C59236. The # 118511 harness you referenced wouldn't fit your vehicle. To install, the inputs on the taillight converter would need to be tapped into the existing tail light circuits. The easiest way to access the wiring harnesses that feed the tail lights would be to remove the tail light assemblies, like you would when replacing a bulb. Starting...

  • Roof Rack Recommendations for 2018 Subaru Legacy
  • The Thule and Rhino Rack square bars are different dimensions. Both Rhino-Rack and Thule have moved away from the standard square bars. My recommendation is to use an aero bar roof rack which is far less noisy. I'd use the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK416 is confirmed as a fit for your 2018 Subaru Legacy and would work well.

  • Recommended Roof Rack system for a 2015 Subaru Legacy with no Existing Rails or Crossbars
  • For your 2015 Subaru Legacy with no existing rails or crossbars, I recommend the Rhino-Rack ROC25 roof rack # RR37XR because it's lightweight due to the aluminum construction, aerodynamic and is very economical. Price does adjust over time, so you'll need to check product pages periodically if you want to compare and contrast. The roof rack # RR37XR is close in price and still a economical cost. The included pads and clamps are specifically designed for the contours of your Legacy's roof....

  • We can definitely help point you in the right direction to pick out all of the correct components to tow a trailer with your 2015 Subaru Legacy.

This means it has plenty of capacity and was designed to specifically fit your vehicle. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. For trailer wiring the...

  • Most Ground Clearance for a Trailer Hitch on a 2018 Subaru Legacy
  • I am not sure I understand what you mean. The trailer hitches we offer for a 2018 Subaru Legacy are different than the trailer hitches we offer for 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon, except one. If you are looking for a trailer hitch that offers the most ground clearance for your Legacy then I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7384. Unfortunately, we have not had the chance to install the EcoHitch on a 2018 Subaru Legacy so I do not have any measurements for you...
