Expert Answers about Subaru
- Recommended Hitch for a 2018 Subaru Outback
- The best hitch for your 2018 Subaru Outback is going to be the etrailer Hitch item # e42TR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Subaru with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 400 lbs maximum tongue weight so you will have plenty of capacity for a bike rack.
I really like the etrailer hitch because of its hidden design. The crosstube will install behind the bumper leaving only the 2" receiver visible. This not only looks better but it also helps...
view full answer... - Can Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket be Used without Extension
- Yes, the Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket # Y07138-08 can be used without the middle extension if you wanted it to be shorter. That would take it from being 62 inches long overall down to 44 inches long.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer for a 14-1/2' Perception Cove Kayak
- 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...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver With Best Bumper Clearance For 2021 Subaru Forestesr
- That's a good question and the trailer hitch that has the best bumper clearance (and ground clearance!) for your 2021 Subaru Forester is from EcoHitch:
- EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7391
When we installed this hitch on a 2021 Forester we found that it was 3 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the rear bumper, and also measures about 13 inches from the ground to the bottom of the hitch, which is the best clearance.
The ground clearance will give...

- The Malone Profile18S Rooftop Cargo Box part # MPG910 will fit a 2015 Subaru Forester no matter what crossbars you are using. That said, if you want to be sure that you can open your rear hatch fully with the cargo box attached you will need to do some measuring. If you have a bare roof with fixed mounting point then I can confirm the Malone Profile18S will clear the rear hatch but if you have raised side rails then you will need to move the front crossbar all the way up and then move the...
view full answer... - What is the Distance From the Hitch Pin Hole to the Top of the Saris MHS Bike Rack for 1 Bike
- The highest part of the Saris MHS Bike Rack for 1 Bike # SAR23MR when folded is the handle of the Saris MHS Platform Rack Base # SAR38MR.
From the center of the hitch pin hole on your hitch to the top of the Saris MHS Platform Rack Base # SAR38MR is 22". The top of the bike tray would just be a few inches below that height.
view full answer... - Recommended 7-Way Connector for a 2019 Subaru Ascent
- Yes, there is a plug in 7-way connector for your 2019 Subaru Ascent. It is the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector item # 118290. It uses the same connector as the 4-ways. I have linked the installation instructions below.
view full answer... - Weight Capacity of Bunk Kit for Malone Trailers
- The Bunk Kit for Malone Trailers # MPG561 has a 500 lb weight capacity so it won't have any issues with your 130 lbs Gheenoe boat!
The Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG461B2 is rated for 800 lbs so I would just be sure to stay under that weight capacity for your MicroSport.

view full answer... - Bumper Clearance of Draw-Tite # 75673 When Installed on 2011 Subaru Outback Wagon
- The hitch manufacturers don't collect hitch pin hole to bumper clearance distance information for given vehicles, which is a darn shame in my opinion. It would be very easy for them to record this information when they do their test fits, and would make life easier for everybody. Sigh.
When we installed the Draw-Tite # 75673 on a 2011 Subaru Outback Wagon, we found the clearance distance to be 7 inches. I can't explain the differences in the 2010-2014 Outback dimensions, but perhaps there...
view full answer... - Does Stated Length of INNO Square Crossbars Include End Caps
- The crossbar length that INNO quotes does include the crossbar endcaps. The # INB137 crossbars you'd looked at are stated to be 54 inches in length, but they are actually 137 cm long, which translates to 53.937 inches.
Inno actually recommends the # INB127 crossbars for your vehicle, which are 127 cm in length which converts to exactly 50 inches long.
view full answer... - Radial Trailer Tire and Wheel with Speed Rating Higher Than 65 MPH
- You didn't say the tire size you need but you looked at a 145/80-12 size tire. We have similar sizes with a higher speed rating but all of our 145/80-12 size tires have a 65 mph speed rating. Instead, take a look at a 5.30-12 or a 4.80-12 size tire. The former is about a half inch larger in diameter and the latter is about an inch smaller.
You also didn't specify a wheel type or bolt pattern. The one you asked from was a 4 on 4 bolt pattern. All of our tire and wheel combos of those...
view full answer... - What Is the Diameter of the Replacement Detent Pin for Thule T2 Bike Carriers Part # TH853-7015
- The Replacement Detent Pin for Thule T2 Bike Carriers part # TH853-7015 is 3/8" diameter so it will not work for you. I am not sure what the intended use of the pin is for but I can confirm that the Snapper Pin part # 516-212TR has a 5/16" diameter and is 2-1/2" long. If you can let me know what you are using the pin for I may have more advice or better options for you.
view full answer... - Distance Dimension of Curt Hitch C13144 Center of the Pin Hole to the End of the Receiver Tube
- I was able to go out to the warehouse and measure the Curt hitch # C13144 for you. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of the receiver tube is 2-1/2 inches.
view full answer... - Dimensions of Malone MicroSport Trailer for Storage
- The Malone MicroSport Trailer with Saddle Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks - 800 lbs # MPG461GU is 13'3" long with the tongue attached. The tongue is 90" long so removing it would leave you with 5'9" of trailer sitting up for storage.
The wheel size isn't going to make a difference in the trailer performance when comparing the two. Although the # Y08107 has larger wheels, the overall height of the trailer is actually less when compared to the MicroSport.
The MicroSport comes with a spare...
view full answer... - Maximum Tongue Weight Capacity of 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon
- The maximum capacities are indeed set by the vehicle manufacturer; trailer hitches are often made to withstand values that go past those capacities but you do need to abide by the maximum capacities set by your owner's manual. I took a look and for your 2017 Subaru Outback the maximum tongue weight is in fact 200 lbs.
So no matter what hitch you are using, including aftermarket options like the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75673 or EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7267, which...

- The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75560 is a confirmed fit for your 2005 Outback wagon. It will have a ground clearance of 10 inches from the bottom of the lip on the receiver tube.
If you will be towing with this hitch receiver, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118461. This installs to factory wiring inside the cargo area behind the trim on the driver's side. I've attached a video...
view full answer... - Does the Curt C13382 Hitch Fit a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness?
- Yes, it does fit the Wilderness trim but I recommend using the etrailer Hitch item # e98912 instead. Both the Curt item # C13382 and the etrailer item # e98912 are confirmed to fit all models of the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek except for the hybrids.
These hitches are manufactured by the same vendor and are identical in every way except for the finish and the price. The matte finish on the etrailer item # e98912 tends to blend in better beneath a vehicle over the glossy finish the Curt item...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch, Wiring Harness, and Ball Mount for a 2010 Subaru Outback Wagon
- We installed the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13410 on a 2012 Subaru Outback Wagon and we found that from the top of the hitch opening down to the ground measured 15".
Since your trailer has a coupler height that sits at 15-1/2", I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. If you mount the ball on the bottom of the receiver with the Curt lettering facing down then...
