Will Yakima LongHaul 4 Bike Rack Work with 2016 Subaru Forester

Question:

Can you tell me if this will fit well on a Subaru Forester? I just recently purchased a trailer hitch from you guys and I think its a 2inch adapter, so it should fit right? Thanks!

The Yakima LongHaul 4 Bike Rack # Y02476 referenced in your question will work great with the Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch # 75876 installed on your 2016 Subaru Forester. The bike rack is compatible with 2-inch hitch receivers like what the Draw-Tite hitch provides and there will not be any clearance issues with the vehicle's rear bumper.

This rack can hold up to 4 bikes up to 37.5 pounds each. The LongHaul # Y02476 also comes with locks to secure your bikes to the rack and to secure the rack to your Forester.

Also, if you are planning on carrying any children's, woman's or alternative frame bikes, an adapter bar like the Kuat # UB01 might be needed. This will provide a horizontal attachment point for level transport and improved ground clearance. I have included a video demonstration on this product so you can see exactly how it works and why it might be necessary.
