Trailer Hitch, Bike Rack, and Cargo Carrier Recommendations for a 2015 Subaru Impreza Sedan

Question:

I am looking for a hitch that could hook up with a cargo carrier for my car. My ideal scenario would be the ability to carry two bikes, two 48 quart sized coolers with drinks, ice, and food but am unsure on what hitch and cargo storage hitch mount would be ideal for my needs? Any recommendations?

For your 2015 Subaru Impreza sedan you can use Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24960 or the discontinued 24888. Both have the same 200 pound tongue weight capacity which is what you would want to look at when using the hitch for a bike rack or cargo carrier.

Since these are both Class I trailer hitches the accessories you use will need to be rated for use on a Class I hitch. I recommend going with the lightest bike rack and cargo carrier that will fit to maximize the amount of weight you can use with each.

For a cargo carrier I recommend Curt carrier # C18110 which weighs 30 pounds. I have linked a video review of this carrier for you.
