Compatibility of the Kuat Transfer Bike Rack and the Draw-Tite Class II Hitch on a 2016 Subaru
Question:
Will the Kuat Transfer work with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 1-1/4inch 36493 on a 2016 Subaru Outback? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack # KU74FR will work well with Draw-Tite Hitch, # 36493, that is confirmed to fit the 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon.
The Draw-Tite hitch is custom-fit for your vehicle. Installation will require drilling, minor heat shield modification, and temporary lowering of the exhaust.
The Transfer rack will allow you to carry two bikes with a total weigh capacity of 80 lbs and the total weight of the carrier is 47 lbs.
I attached a review video for both products. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
