Expert Reply:
I wouldn't say that having the Swagman XTC bike rack # S64670 mounted in the trailer hitch, with or without bikes loaded, would render the backup camera useless on your 2016 Subaru Outback. The bikes and rack will certainly block the view but you would be able to see a little bit. But if you use the camera for parking in tight spaces then I would say that the blocked view would not be much help at all. This is going to be the same situation with any rear mounted bike rack.
