Hitch Cargo Carrier to Carry a Wheelchair on a 2013 Subaru Impreza
Question:
I wanted to know if the Flint Hill Goods 30x50 Wheelchair Carrier w/ 48inch Long Ramp - 2inch Hitches - Folding - Aluminum - 500 lbs, would work well with my 2013 Subaru Impreza Sedan. I recently purchased a hidden hitch- 24888 Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I Thank you

Expert Reply:
The hitch receiver you installed on your 2013 Subaru Impreza is a Class I hitch that has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The Flint Hill Goods Wheelchair Carrier # FHG77ZR fits Class III, 2-inch hitch receivers so it will not fit your hitch receiver.
We do offer three cargo carriers that will fit a Class I hitch:
Curt # C18145
Curt # C18110
Reese # 63155
Another thing to pay attention to is the weight of the wheelchair you plan to put on the carrier. Many electric wheelchairs weigh a few hundred pounds and will exceed your vehicle and hitch's tongue weight capacity. Especially since you'll need to add in the weight of the carrier.
