  • Recommended Roof Rack with Longer Crossbars for Canoe On 2016 Subaru Outback with Factory Rack
  • The Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar System part # TH711220, part # TH460R, and part # THKIT4063 will work on a 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon with factory crossbars. The extended crossbars will then give you enough space to hold you canoe with a carrier such as the Lockrack Watersport Carrier part # LR54FR.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2017 Subaru Forester 2.5L and SportRack Bike Carrier
  • For your 2017 Subaru Forester 2.5L, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13144. This will work very well for the SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack - 2" Hitches - Swinging # SR2415. You may want to consider the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock # SR0901 and the etrailer 10' Long Cable Lock # e98891 run through the chain loops of the hitch and the bike frames. You may also want the adapter bar # 64005 for any step-thru frames for level towing and ground clearance.

  • Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains for 2018 Subaru Crosstrek
  • The correct Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains for your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek if it's equpped with 225/55-18 sized tires is the part # TC1555. It looks like there was just some discrepancy in the past with regards to the Titan Chain # TC1553 that you mentioned, however these are a just bit too small to comfortably fit this size tire. Nothing has actually changed as it relates to the chains themselves. I have attached a short video review on the correct chains below that you can also check out.

  • Yes, we have the Thule EasyFold XT bike rack part # TH903202 that fits the 1-1/4 inch hitch size that you mentioned.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and 2 Bike Rack To Carry E-Bikes On 2009 Subaru Impreza Sedan
  • I have another option for you, but there is not a 2" trailer hitch available for your 2009 Subaru Impreza Sedan. What I recommend instead is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11317 which has a 1-1/4" trailer hitch receiver and a 200lb tongue weight rating and 2000lb trailer weight rating. This rack can still carry your two E-bikes, but you will have limited options when it comes to bike racks. I recommend the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric...

  • Recommended Easiest to Install Trailer Hitch for a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek
  • The trailer hitch options for a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek all install pretty much the same, no welding or drilling required. It will take a bit of time for the fishwire portion of the install but it's all bolt-on and easy enough pretty much anyone with little to no mechanical experience can do it. The best part is, we have videos that will walk you through each step. I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98912 which has a hidden design for the best overall aesthetics, a matte...

  • Will the Kuat Sherpa Work With EcoHitch On 2018 Subaru WRX
  • The EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7257 is a great option for a 2018 Subaru WRX. That said, in order to use a bike rack you must ensure the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of the shank is not more than 2-1/2" due to the trunk pan. The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack part # SH22B measures 1-5/8" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of the shank to it will work.

  • Question About a Product
  • If you are not experiencing sag then you can start with just the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit part # 83660 and the Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts part # RP26003. There is no good way to attach this other than welding to avoid putting holes in the frame. I know it is not much better. If this does not get the results you are looking for a weight distribution setup with built in sway control can be a very effective way to resolve it completely.

  • Recommended Bike Rack for Rad City Step Through Bikes on 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • I recommend using the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 which is the perfect solution to carry heavy e-bikes with aggressive step throughs and fenders since it has adjustable frame clamps to hold your bikes in place, and will carry bikes up to 65-lbs each. The EasyFold XT comes with an integrated ramp to make loading your bikes a breeze and folds up compactly for easy storage when it's not in use. This bike rack comes with a locking hitch pin plus locks for your bikes to keep everything secure,...

  • Are There Bike Racks That Tilt to the Side or Have Folding Center Mast
  • I'm certainly glad to hear you've been happy so far, and while there isn't anything that tilts to the side, there is a rack that may remedy the situation, depending on where the camera and sensors are. The closest thing to a bike rack that tilts to the side is a swing-away rack, the RockyMounts BackStage 2-Bike Rack # RKY10002. This rack moves all the way to the side, as you can see in the accompanying photo, which may eliminate your Subaru from detecting it as an obstacle. This would...

  • Subaru 2003 Forester Hitch Installation and Platform Style 4-Bike Rack Recommendation
  • It's not necessary to use a lift to install a hitch on your Forester, but if you have or can borrow ramps or jack stands from somebody, it will make the installation much easier. If that's not an option, we offer some fairly inexpensive ramps as part # FT11909MI or jack stands as part # PTW41021. Either the Curt # C12038 or the Draw-Tite # 36311 would work fine for you. They install in the same manner, and have identical capacities. Both install with standard metric wrenches or sockets...

  • Can the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer Carry Rooftop Accessories
  • I do have an option for you but the bunk boards on the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer part # CE48870 would be much too large for use with rooftop mount accessories. The best option we have to convert this trailer for carrying rooftop mounted accessories is with the Malone Crossbar Conversion Kit part # MPG475 which you'd need to find a way to attach.

  • Ball Mount to Use with Curt Hitch that Fits 2008 Subaru Impreza
  • With Class I hitches like the Curt # C11120 you mentioned that fits your 2008 Subaru Impreza wagon you have to go with the required ball mount by the manufacturer which in this case would be the part # C45521. Then for a hitch ball you'd wan the part # A-82 for a 2 inch ball or part # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.

  • Recommended Tires For Camp Trailer with ST145/R12 Sized Tires
  • For tire size ST145/R12 we have two options. The first, and my recommendation, is the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D, # AM10130. This is an 8 ply radial special trailer tire with automotive-grade tread designed for highway use and has an M rating of 81 mph. Load range D has a capacity of 1,220 lbs. at 65 psi, whereas load range E has a capacity of 1,520 lbs. at 80 psi. With trailer tires you always want to have them inflated to their maximum that way...
