Platform Bike Rack and Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Subaru Outback
Question:
Which platform style bike rack that holds two mountain bikes should I purchase for a new 2016 Subaru Outback 3.6R Limited? I plan to purchase an after market 2inch trailer hitch and want a rack that fits into a 2inch trailer hitch. Can you also suggest which 2inch trailer hitch I should purchase?

Expert Reply:
I really like the platform bike racks that only touch the bikes at the tire like the Saris Superclamp part # SA4025F. And this bike rack is really nice because it also doesn't hardly weight anything when compared to other similar bike racks. This rack only weighs 35 lbs. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
For a 2 inch hitch then to fit your 2016 Subaru Outback you would want the part # 75673 which is a 2 inch hitch confirmed as a fit.
