Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Subaru Outback
Question:
Will the Ridgeback 2 fit a 2015 Subaru Outback using the 75673 Draw-Tite Class 3 Trailer Hitch? Im wondering if the hitch receiver is recessed too far under the rear bumper for the bike rack to clear the bumper when installed and locked with the pin. Thx.

Expert Reply:
When we installed the Draw-Tite part # 75673 on a 2015 Subaru Outback just like yours we found that from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the furthest point on your rear bumper the distance was 5 inches.
The Yakima Ridgeback part # Y02457 that you referenced has a distance of 12 inches from the pin hole to the back of the upright mast so it would fit well without interference.
