  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2005 Subaru Legacy Wagon
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118461 is the best and only option for a 2005 Subaru Legacy Wagon. It does offer easy plug-in-play installation. The Tekonsha brand is the most reliable option we offer so you won't have to worry about any issues.

  • Determining Weight Capacity of Yakima Track Roof Rack for Naked Roof
  • The weight capacity of the Yakima 42" Tracks for Roof Racks # Y01126 will be the capacity of the bars used in them which will be 165 lbs most of the time. Now the roof capacity is also a figure you need to stay under as well. They don't have a specific capacity for a sheet metal roof install so you'd have to stay under the capacity of the vehicle roof as stated in the owners manual. When installed properly though you would not have to worry about the tracks popping out. We sell these tracks...

  • Recommended Roof Rack For Carrying A Kayak On A 2022 Subaru Legacy
  • If you will be taking your kayak to and from the beach, the Yakima JayLow # Y04073 is definitely a good option. This will fit just about anything, folds flat when not in use, and can carry up to two kayaks, with the addition of a set of Bow/Stern Tie-Down Ropes # Y04031, if ever needed. Now to get this attached to your 2022 Subaru Legacy, let's check out the roof rack. For this, I recommend the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425, SkyLine Towers # Y53TR, and Landing Pad 22 # Y00248.

  • Options for Carrying Cargo on Roof of 2012 Subaru Legacy
  • We sell cargo bags that attach to vehicles with naked roofs. This is a great solution for people who don't need to carry cargo on the roof all of the time but still want an economical option that allows this. For you size vehicle the part # RL100S50 would be your best option for this. If you plan to use the bag/box frequently the part # SR1010 is a confirmed fit that would work well. And then for a great cargo box that isn't quite as expensive as the others the SportRack Horizon part #...

  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2024 Subaru Legacy
  • The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e25TR is our best receiver for your 2024 Subaru Legacy. This receiver hides the cross tube behind the rear fascia so you only see the 2" receiver opening and chain hooks below the rear bumper. I recommend installing the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C79CR so you will have a 4-way flat connector. This is the most commonly found connector used on small trailers and it will also allow you to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201.

  • How to Change my Thule T2 Bike Rack from a 2-Inch to a 1/1/4 Inch Receiver for my 1998 Subaru Legacy
  • Since there isn't any 2-inch trailer hitch receivers that are a fit for your 1998 Subaru Legacy Outback, you could use the adapter such as # HTAD. Although there are adapters available, we typically don't recommend them because they reduce the TW capacity of the hitch by half. If you don't have a hitch quite yet, the trailer hitch I recommend for your 1998 Subaru Legacy is the Class-II Curt # C12270. The maximum gross trailer weight is 3,500 pounds and maximum tongue weight is 300 pounds....

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2009 Subaru Legacy Sedan to Carry a Scooter Carrier
  • The Draw-Tite Hitch part # 75560 that you referenced is the correct hitch for your 2009 Subaru Legacy Sedan. This hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 400 lbs, so that means that if the weight of your 290 lb scooter and carrier together weighs less than 400 lbs this hitch should work well for you. Basically if your carrier weighs less than 110 lbs (which it should) you would be fine. However, you need to also check the owners manual of your vehicle and determine what Subaru lists as the...

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for Two Kayaks on 2019 Subaru Legacy
  • While we do have a roof rack and kayak carrier that will work for both of your Perception Tribe 11.5 kayaks the Malone SaddleUp Pro Truck Bed Kayak Carrier # MPG1001 is only designed for a single kayak and also would not fit a Malone Versa roof rack. For a roof rack I highly recommend the Yakima CoreBar system because it offers a combination of superior functionality, durability and looks. This roof rack is a fit for your 2019 Subaru Legacy so long as it is the Sedan model and is made...

  • 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.

  • Correct Trailer Hitch Fit for 2020 Subaru Legacy (Base, Premium, Sport, Limited,Touring, and XT)
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT73RR is a confirmed fit for a 2020 Subaru Legacy (All Models Including Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, Limited XT and Touring XT) and what I recommend since it offers the easiest bolt-on installation. It would then work perfectly with a bike rack such as the Kuat NV 2.0 Base 2-Bike Platform Rack part # BA22B.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2014 Subaru Legacy
  • I do have an option for you, however the Curt Class II Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12290 referenced in your question is not confirmed to fit your 2014 Subaru Legacy. This particular hitch is designed for certain model year Subaru Outback Wagons, as you noted, and it will also fit 2015-2018 models of the Subaru Legacy. It looks like there was a generation change after 2014 on the Legacy and the differences in the rear frame on the new generation allow this hitch to fit, but it will not work...

  • Trailer Hitch, Wiring, and Accessories for a 2016 Subaru Legacy
  • I will be happy to help you out. For a trailer hitch for your 2016 Subaru Legacy I recommend Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75673. This hitch is rated for 600 pounds tongue weight and 4,000 pounds gross trailer weight. Be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual to see what your Legacy is rated for and go by the lower capacity. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. For trailer lights I recommend Tow Ready 4-Way flat # 118671. Tow Ready harnesses have a good reputation...

  • Can Edge Insight CTS2 Gauge Display Be Changed to Kilometers
  • Yes, the Edge Insight CTS2 Comprehensive Gauge Display # EP84130 referenced in your question, which is confirmed to fit your 2007 Subaru Legacy, can be switched from US to Metric units, including kilometers. This is a really nice performance monitor that can display up to 12 parameters at once and features a full-color, 5 inch touch screen display. It includes a maintenance manager and mileage/kilometer coach so you can keep track of your Subaru's maintenance schedule while also helping...

  • Trailer hitch, Ball Mount, Ball, and Wiring for a 2006 Subaru Legacy Sedan
  • First, lets look at the trailer hitches for your 2006 Subaru Legacy sedan. There are both Class II and Class III trailer hitches available. Any time there are different Class hitches available for a vehicle I always recommend going with the higher Class. This is because the higher Class hitches have a higher capacity and have more accessory options. With a Class II hitch you are going to also be limited to using one specific ball mount so that makes it harder to choose the proper ball...

  • Roof Rack that Fits 2014 Mazda 3 and 2014 Subaru Legacy
  • The best option we have would be a roof rack that is mostly the same that fits your 2008 Mazda 3 and 2014 Subaru Legacy but with different fit kits since the roofs are different. So what you'd want is the Inno Square Roof Rack part # INB137, # INSUT, and # INK851 for the 2014 Subaru Legacy and then use just the different fit kit # INK794 to fit the bars and feet to your Mazda 3.

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for 2005 Subaru Legacy Wagon
  • I have a bike rack recommendation for you, but the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top trunk mount bike rack is not confirmed to fit your 2005 Subaru Legacy Wagon. Instead, I recommend the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633 because it features a simpler 4 strap mounting system rather than the traditional 6 strap system, has Yakima's SuperCush anti-sway cradles to support your bikes and prevent them from contacting each other during travel, and the rack comes with a steel reinforced security...

  • Measurements to Use for Determining Ground Clearance with Draw Tite Hitch # 36234
  • I spoke with my contact at Draw Tite about the dimensions you are looking for on the part # 36234 and he told me the following: The hitch is not really symmetrical so I’m working off the passenger’s side bracket. From the frame to top of the receiver box is 4 ¾” and from the rear mounting hole is 10 5/8”.

  • 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...

  • Can 2001 Ford Windstar be Flat Towed Behind an RV
  • Based on the online owner's manual (page 183-184) for your 2001 Ford Windstar, Ford does not recommend that these front-wheel drive vehicles be flat towed behind a motorhome with all 4 wheels on the ground. For towing the vehicle, using a tow dolly like the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1 is going to be the best option. The owner's manual does state that the vehicle can be flat towed in an emergency situation only (with a maximum speed of 35 mph and a distance of up to 50 miles).
