If you wanted to carry a female frame styled bike with the Swagman Titan part # S63400 you would want a bike frame adapter bar like the part # UB01. This attaches to the seat post of the bike and to the steering stem to give the bike a horizontal attachment point. I attached an install link for this for you to check out as well.
As long as you have a hitch installed on your 2016 Subaru Crosstrek like the part # E98838 this will fit and work well. I really like this hitch as it has a 2... view full answer...
I do not have a photo of a Specialized Turbo Como 3.0 step through e-bike on the Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 2 Fat Bikes # SA4412B-FB. But I have included a video that demonstrates how to operate the bike rack.
In the video, you can see that the clamp is actually being attached to the lower tube of the bike, which is ideal for a step thru bike because it will not have that top bar for attachment. I have also included a photo of the rack with a white bike, the white bike allows you to see... view full answer...
Yes, since you have 29-30 inches of crossbar space on your 2017 Subaru Crosstrek's factory crossbars, you will have enough room to carry 2 Thule ProRide XT # TH598004 bike racks on your roof. In order to make this work, you will most likely need to install one rack backwards so that the handlebars of your two bikes do not interfere during mounting or transport. view full answer...
When installing the TST TPMS for RVs # TST-507-RV-4-C you will also need to install the included signal booster/repeater. According to the manufacturer these are designed to be used with the signal booster. This ensures the most accurate readings. The repeater will help with any interference within your vehicle and also helps the signal overcome interference from surrounding vehicles while you're driving. view full answer...

The installation of the Roadmaster Base Plate kit part # 52922-1A does not require much trimming or cutting. There is a section of the fascia that gets trimmed but I wouldn't say it's an invasive amount of trimming. For more info on the install check out the install instructions link I attached that will walk you through the entire process with full color pictures.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking... view full answer...
According the the installation guide, which I have linked for you, this should take approximately two hours to install.
Please note that this hitch is only intended for hitch-mounted accessories such as bike racks, and not for towing.
If you are interested in using this hitch for towing, then we offer the required towing kit, part # 391CONVOC5. If you were wanting to use the hitch to transport bikes, then be sure to take a look at our catalog of 2-inch racks. I've linked this as well. view full answer...

In regards to the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack part # SAR83FR, if you're only carrying one bike it would need to be placed in the cradles closest to the vehicle. In regards to use with a spoiler, it doesn't actually put pressure on the spoiler although the straps may still come into contact. There will be no issues with spoiler use if factory and listed as a confirmed fit. view full answer...
While the 1-1/2" bolts included with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76209 you were looking at for your 2021 Subaru Crosstrek sound short, only the front two bolts will use the spacer between the hitch and the frame, and will be roughly flush with the end of the nut.
This is how Draw-Tite designed and tested the hitch, and was done to keep excess thread from sticking down.
I included a video of the # 76209 being installed to show you exactly how the bolts will work when installed. view full answer...
The Curt Class II Hitch # C12184 does indeed include the pull wires to get the carriage bolts through the frame of your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. I included a video of an install we did on a 2019 Crosstrek for you to check out as well. view full answer...
If you are purchasing a new bicycle hitch rack the hardware to attach the rack to your hitch receiver will come with the rack. I prefer the Kuat NV 2.0 bike rack, part # NV22G, because it is a platform rack that holds the bike by the wheels ensuring the rack does not touch the frame. This is especially preferable if you are transporting bikes with carbon frames. I have included a link below. view full answer...
The reason why there is a slight slope on the rack is because it helps a bit with ground clearance with the weight of the bikes on the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack # SH22G. With the angle, it helps prevent drag in the back. I went ahead and attached some photos that show the angle. view full answer...
Yes, the Timbren Silent Ride Suspension Systems like part # TSR2000S03 require a crossmember installed between driver and passenger side. The crossmembers is needed to add additional support. It will be welded to the back of the flange which you can see in the attached photo. view full answer...
If you and a set of extra helping hands can fit under your 2023 Subaru Crosstrek then you should be able to wiggle the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36644 around enough to get it installed. I know for myself that I'm big enough I would need to have a vehicle lifted up unless it was on a bigger vehicle like a truck.

The hard and fast rule that we tell people when it comes to using snow tire chains or cables like the Titan Chain # TC339DC that you referenced is to follow the instructions in the owner's manual. If your Subaru manual says to only use chains/cables on your front set of wheels then that is the only place you should install them as Subaru knows the limitations of your vehicle.
The only time following the instructions in the manual can get contradictory is when the manual says not to use... view full answer...
The rear fascia/bumper on your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek does NOT have to be trimmed, cut, or modified to install Curt trailer hitch # C13382. I have included a link below to the installation instructions for you to view.
I checked with Curt and they list trailer wiring harness # C56040 as the correct wiring harness for your 2018 Crosstrek.

I spoke with Malone about which Bearing Buddies you should use on the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks # MAL43FR and they said that they do not recommend using Bearing Buddies on any of their trailer, however if you'd still like to install them you can use:
-Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors - Model 1980A w/ Auto Check # BB1980A. These are chrome plated, however if you wanted to go with stainless steel, you can use the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors - Model... view full answer...
The aftermarket hitches we offer do not install using the OEM hitch opening. Both the light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I hitches and the higher-capacity 2-inch Class III hitches like # 76084 made for your car mount under the bumper cover as you noted.
When a choice is available, I always recommend the sturdier higher-capacity hitch. The Class III Draw-Tite # 76084 will give you better compatibility with a range of hitch-mount accessories like cargo carriers and bike racks. Please refer to the... view full answer...
