  • How Much Does EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver Weigh For the 2015 Subaru WRX
  • The shipping weight of the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit part # 306-X7257 is about 31 lbs. This hitch fits 2015 - 2019 Subaru WRX. It is a completely hidden design so the hitch is completely out of sight for a clean factory look on the WRX. I have attached a video for your reference.

  • Will the Yakima JetStream Crossbar System Work On a 2020 Subaru WRX with Sun Roof
  • The Yakima JetStream Crossbar System part # Y00425, part # Y53TR, and part # Y00248 is a great option for a 2020 Subaru WRX and it will work on models with a sunroof. That said, you need to be mindful when using the sunroof with the roof rack attached as you will have a reduced overhead clearance with the rack installed but there are no other issues aside from this according to Yakima. It does mount in the factory fixed points.

  • Fit and Compatibility of Thule Roof Rack Accessories on Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars
  • I was able to go out to our demonstration bay and test fit the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RR37GR with some of the Thule roof bike racks and ski racks for you. I found that the racks like the # TH95JV and # TH7326 are compatible with the Rhino Vortex Aero bars as well as the Thule Aeroblade crossbars. I also found that the T-slot in the Rhino-Rack bar is compatible with the T-slot accessory option that the Thule roof mounted accessories like the # TH95JV has. I have linked the...

  • Is the Thule EasyFold XT Compatible with the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • The EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 306-X7257, has a distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outside edge of the receiver of 1-1/8". This is not enough to use the Thule EasyFold XT, part # TH903202, or any other Thule bike rack. Instead, I recommend using the Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack, part # BA22B. It can hold two bikes up to 60 pounds each. It is a wheel-mount rack that has keyed-alike locks. I've linked to a video review of this below.

  • Will Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack Fit 2018 Subaru WRX with EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Installed
  • Yes, the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack # SH22G that you referenced will work perfectly with the EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7257 on your 2018 Subaru WRX. The Sherpa 2.0 features a length of 1-5/8 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of the shank, well under the max 2-1/2 inches that the EcoHitch will allow with a hitch-mounted accessory. This is an excellent platform-style carrier that uses ratcheting hooks to firmly grip the front wheels on your bikes...

  • Rhino-Rack Vortex Roof Rack Compatibility with Yakima Fat Cat 6 Roof Ski/Snowboard Carrier Y03088
  • The Yakima Fat Cat 6 Locking Rooftop Ski and Snowboard Carrier has mounting hardware that will fit all crossbar shapes up to maximum bar dimensions of 3-7/16 wide x 1-3/4-inches tall. This size range accommodates almost all factory and aftermarket roof rack bars. Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbars are 3-1/8 wide x 1-3/16-inches tall so they're a great fit. For your 2015 Subaru WRX your Vortex rack options are shown on the linked page. All racks fit the sedan with a bare roof. Both silver...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2021 Subaru WRX
  • Yes, they do. It is the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7257. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to the 2021 WRX's frame with included hardware. I really like this hitch because it mounts directly behind your rear bumper and the receiver is accessible through a hidden knockout panel. The EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7257 is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight. I have attached a couple of pictures...

  • Can The Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack Be Used With A Class 1 Hitch?
  • Not only is the size of the trailer hitch receiver important, but also the class is important. The Yakima Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches # Y02445 is only to be used on class 2 receivers so it will not work on your class 1 receiver. This is for a couple reasons, one being that class 1 receivers are not designed to hold the weight of some accessories, such as this class 2 bike rack. The second reason is that some hitch manufacturers actually weld in a stopper which blocks...

  • Differences Between Thule FastRide & Thule TopRide Roof Bike Racks
  • The biggest difference is fit; the Thule TopRide Roof Bike Rack # TH75JV fits bikes with a 9-mm quick-release skewer, 9-mm captive, 12-mm and 15-mm thru-axle, and 12-mm and 15-mm Boost thru-axle. The Thule FastRide # TH95JV only fits bikes with a 9-mm captive or 9-mm quick-release skewer, and requires Thru-Axle Adapters # TH58BV to use the rack with 9-mm, 12-mm, or 15-mm thru-axle forks (both require Boost Thru-Axle Adapter # TH38BV for a 20-mm x 110-mm Boost thru-axle). So really, the...

  • Thule Roof Fairing for 50 Long Square Crossbars on a 2016 Subaru WRX
  • The Thule AirScreen Fairing for Roof Racks part # TH82WV comes with two types of clamps which are for aero and square crossbars therefore, you will not need to buy an adapter in order to install this fairing on a Thule square crossbar. The padded rubber bumpers on the bottom of the fairing do not have a "protective sticker" but you should have no concerns with them rubbing into the paint as the force applied to the bumpers is minimal. As long as there is 44" of space between the mounting...

  • Will the Rhino-Rack Batwing Awning Work With Square Crossbars
  • The Rhino-Rack Batwing Awning part # RR33200 can only be installed on crossbars with top channels which square crossbars don't have. Therefore, a better option would be the Yakima SlimShady Awning part # Y36VR which uses wraparound clamps. The height of the vehicle would not be an issue for either awning.

  • Will the Eco Hitch Invisi Hitch Work with my 1UP Bike Rack
  • The EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7257 is a 2" x 2" receiver tune opening. While we do not sell the 1UP from what I have seen of them they come in the 2" x 2" variety. If your is 2" compatible it will work out great for you. The only thing to be sure of is that you will need to have less than 2.5" of shank behind the pin hole on your rack for the holes to line up.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2021 Subaru WRX Base
  • I recommend the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7257 for your 2021 Subaru WRX Base. This 2" receiver will hide behind the center knock out panel on your rear fascia. The hidden design ensures your WRX looks clean and you will not have a receiver hanging below your rear fascia. The Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56259 will give you a 4 way flat connector. This connector will fit with most small trailers you might tow and can also be used with Auxiliary Lights # C53201. These...

  • Roof Rack for a 2018 Subaru WRX to use OEM Subaru Acessories
  • I recommend the Yakima Jet Stream kit for your application, based on the shape of the previous bars you had. This kit provides you with aero shaped bars that are very similar to the 2011 Subaru Impreza's factory bars. This rack installs into the fixed points on your roof, however is not compatible if you have a glass roof on your Subaru. The kit consists of: JetStream Crossbars, 50 inches, part # Y00425 SkyLine Towers, part # Y53TR Landing Pad 11 for Yakima Towers, part # Y00233 This...

  • Adapting a Thule Bike Rack to a 2018 Subaru WRX with Factory Thule Crossbars
  • The crossbars on your new 2018 Subaru WRX should be an AeroBlade Edge kit, like part # TH7062-TH7603. For any future accessories, you'll want to look for those that fit the Thule AeroBlade type bars. In the case of the Prologue, you're right on in that the XAdapt 9 kit, part # THXADAPT9 is the correct kit to adjust the Prologue to working on the Thule AeroBlade bars.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2016 Subaru WRX Limited
  • I checked with Curt and trailer hitch # C11408 is indeed listed as a fit for your 2016 Subaru WRX Limited. There is one picture from the instructions which I have added for you. I have also linked the instructions. You will not have to remove the bumper to install the hitch. If you plan on doing some towing the correct ball mount is # C45521. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. And for trailer wiring you can use # C56259 to add a 4-Way flat connector. If...

  • Availability of Fit Kit for Thule Rapid Traverse Foot Pack for a 2015 Subaru WRX
  • The correct fit kit to mount the (discontinued) Thule Rapid Traverse foot pack TH480R to your 2015 Subaru WRX is the discontinued part THKIT1649. Thule has been doing a complete remake of their products and so basically all of their roof rack and bike racks have been changed to a newer style that better accommodates newer vehicles. I reached out to my contact at Thule to see if the newer fit kit will work with the Rapid Traverse foot pack but he said that none of those parts are interchangeable. Luckily...

  • 5-Bike Rack Recommendation for 2019 Subaru WRX with EcoHitch
  • For your application with the EcoHitch # 306-X7257 I recommend using the Hollywood Racks Road Runner 5 Bike Carrier # HR520. This isn't a platform rack and as such only weighs 37-1/2 lbs; the pin system on this is a standard locking pin which will be simple to install. Just make sure you install the pin prior to cranking down on the anti-rattle handle at the front. Attached below is a video review for you to check out.
