Pin Hole to Bumper Clearance for Draw Tite/Hidden Hitch on 2014 Subaru Forester
Question:
What is the clearance from pin hole to outside bumper with Hidden Hitch installed on a 2014 Subaru Forester? Is there an alternative that gives more clearance? Need to determine if my Thule T2 bike rack will fold up without hitting anything.

Expert Reply:
When we installed the Hidden Hitch 87654 and the Draw Tite equivalent part # 75876 on a 2014 Subaru Forester we found that the distance from the pin hole to the outer edge of the bumper was 5 inches.
The Thule T2 Pro XTR part # TH69TX and the T2 Pro part # TH83JV requires 5 inches so it would be very close.
These hitches offer better clearance than the Curt so they would be the best options.
