Expert Answers about Subaru WRX


  • Is There Drilling Needed to Install Hitch on 2023 Subaru WRX
  • The Draw Tite hitch # 76271 definitely does fit your 2023 Subaru WRX and when we installed it we found that the distance from the bottom of the hitch to the ground measured right at 11-1/2 inches. From the center of it's hitch pin to the furthest point out on the rear bumper measures 5-1/2 inches. There will be two holes that will need to be drilled on the chassis of the vehicle. You can see where exactly in the attached install instructions and install video.

  • Will Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier Fit EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch 306-X7257 On 2018 Subaru WRX?
  • You are correct that from the center of the hitch pin hole to the most outward part of the rear bumper with the EcoHitch # 306-X7257 installed is right at 3-1/2". Since from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches # UF48-979033 is 15-1/2" you will have plenty of clearance to use this carrier with your 2018 Subaru WRX. The # UF48-979033 weighs in at 50lbs, so since your # 306-X7257 has a 525lb tongue weigh rating you will be...

  • Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack for 2016 Subaru WRX
  • For the 2015 or 2016 WRX, 4-door with or without spoiler, I recommend the Yakima KingJoe Pro 3 Bike Rack # Y02625. This rack features Yakima's anti-sway StableCradle system to hold bike firmly in place to help prevent bike-to-bike and bike-to-vehicle contact. For easy storage, the mounting arms will fold down to help compact the bike rack. I have attached a review video of this bike rack for you. If you have a 5-door hatchback WRX, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike...

  • Availability of 2 inch Hitch for 2015 Subaru WRX

  • Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack that Accepts 27.5 Inch Wheels and a 50 Inch Wheelbase
  • I recommend the Swagman Trailhead # S63365 is a 3-bike holder which accepts up to a 50-inch wheelbase. The wheel size does not matter in this case. This budget-friendly rack is becoming quite popular due to its low price and light weight. Getting the 3-bike version gives you some extra room between bikes. If you prefer to stick with the 2-bike version of this, the part number is # S63360.

  • How to Carry a Dirt Bike on a 2017 Subaru WRX
  • The owner's manual for your 2017 Subaru WRX does not recommend towing a trailer therefore, a tongue weight capacity is not explicitly listed. There is a tongue weight capacity for the trailer hitch but if the vehicle is lower then that will need to be the figure you abide by. However, there is a vehicle weight capacity which will include the weight of all passengers, the weight of all cargo, and in your case the weight of the trailer hitch and anything on it. The vehicle weight capacity...

  • Trailer Hitch that Fits 2023 Subaru WRX
  • At this time we only have one hitch that fits the 2023 Subaru WRX and it's the larger 2 inch hitch size. It's the part # 76271. There isn't a 1-1/4 inch Class I hitch available for your vehicle. The Class III 2 inch hitch size is usually the more desirable option as it has higher capacities and also has more accessories made for it. The 21' hitch fits do not transfer over to the 23's.

The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect. For lighting/safety cables, locks, and covers for the...

  • Quietest Roof Cargo Box For a 2014 Subaru WRX
  • Between the Thule Pulse Medium Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Matte Black Item # TH614 and the Thule Motion XT Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black Glossy Item # TH629506 the Motion XT Alpine is going to be quieter. It's a slimmer design which measures 90-1/4" long x 37-1/2" wide x 13-1/4" tall which is a little longer than the Thule Pulse which measures 67" long x 35" wide x 16" tall.

  • Best Bike Rack for Carbon Fiber Frame Bikes
  • The best bike rack option we have for expensive carbon fiber frame bikes is the Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack part # NV22B for 2" or part # NV12B for 1-1/4". The NV holds the bikes by the wheels so there will be no chance for damage to the frame and it comes with locks for both the bike rack and bikes so there will be a decreased chance of theft. It works with tire sizes up to 3" so there will be no problems here either and it comes with a really nice finish.

  • Recommended Roof Rack For Carrying Bikes On a 2024 Subaru WRX
  • I recommend installing the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack on your 2024 Subaru WRX. This is my favorite rack as the crossbars have an aero design with 2 piece channel seal that makes adding your channel mounted accessories much easier. You will need the Crossbars # TH711320, Feet # TH49SC and Fit Kit # TH88RE to attach to your roof. The Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack # TH598004 is a very lightweight bike rack at only 9.9lbs and will allow you to carry a bike up to 44lbs. I prefer this as...

  • Recommended Bike Rack Option for 2016 Subaru WRX STI w/ Factory Spoiler
  • According to my Thule representative, the height of the spoiler on your vehicle would prevent you from installing a trunk mounted bike rack, but there are options that would allow you to carry two bikes. Your best bet would be to install a hitch like the Curt Class I, part # C11408 and use it as an attachment point for a hitch mounted bike rack. My favorite bike rack right now is the Kuat Beta, part # B202-114. The rack is super strong, but its aluminum construction means its only about...

  • Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 2016 Subaru WRX with Curt Hitch Installed
  • For a cargo carrier to fit the Curt hitch part # C11408 that is a fit for your 2016 Subaru WRX the Curt part # C18145 would be a great option that will fit. It has dimensions of 20 by 48 inches. Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a review video for you to check for the strap as well.

  • EcoHitch Trailer Hitch for 2019 Subaru WRX
  • The EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7257 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2019 Subaru WRX. This particular hitch will fit all trim models of the 2015-2019 Subaru WRX. I like this hitch a lot because of its sleek hidden design where only the 2 inch receiver is visible. It features a 3,500 pound towing capacity, a 525 pound tongue weight limit, and all the needed hardware is included. I have attached the written installation instructions that you can check...

  • Roof Cargo Basket that Can fit Thule Aeroblade Roof Rack of 2021 Subaru WRX
  • The crossbar spread requirements for the Curt cargo basket part # C18115 are pretty restrictive as it can only fit the spreads of 15", 22", or 29". This means it would not work for you but you could instead use the Rhino Rack cargo basket part # RMCB02 which fits the spread range of 25-1/2" - 43".

  • Best Trailer Hitch and Wiring Kit for 2020 Subaru WRX
  • For your 2020 Subaru WRX I recommend the EcoHitch part # 306-X7257 as it has plenty of towing capacity for your camper but also because it's only option that fits behind the rear bumper panel of your vehicle for a concealed look and also better ground clearance. See attached picture and install video for more info. For trailer wiring then the Tekonsha kit part # 118768 is the best option as it's very easy to install and comes with a very reliable converter box. Since you wanted to do...
