Recommended 3-Bike Rack for Subaru Crosstrek with 2 Inch EcoHitch Receiver  

Question:

Have a Subaru Crosstrek with a great EcoHitch inch 2 inch receiver which is hidden by a knockout plate in the rear bumper. I wanted the Thule 3 bike Aero but evidently the large side mounted reciever pin does not fit into the tight fit of the Ecohitch and bumper. Can you reccommend a 2nd choice for a stable 3 bike rear hitch with a standard reciever pin that will fit into the EcoHitch? Ideally I wanted the rack to tilt out if I need to open the hatch. Thank you

Expert Reply:

A platform style 3-bike option that I like is the Kuat Transfer # KU24FR. This rack will have ratcheting hooks that hold your bikes by the wheels with no frame contact. A foot pedal lets you tilt rack with bikes loaded for cargo area access and fold it up for storage.

I attached a Help Article to show you how to determine the bumper clearance on your Crosstrek to ensure compatibility.
