Trailer Hitch to Use a Wilco Hitchgate Solo on a 2015 Subaru Outback
Question:
Hi guys, Was wondering if you could help me figure out if I will be able to attach the Wilco Hitchgate Solo to this trailer hitch. Looks like it has a 2inch receiver just dont see any other dimensions etc. Thanks so much.

With Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" Item # 75673 installed on a 2015 Subaru Outback it measures 5 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole back to clear the rear bumper. The Wilco Hitchgate would have to measure further than 5 inches from the center of its pin hole to the nearest part of the carrier to clear the back of the Outback.
But it looks like at most the Hitchgate Solo is 4-1/2 inches. So I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" Item # 306-X7601 because when we installed it on a 2016 Outback, see video, its pin hole center was just 2-1/2 inches back from the rear bumper. So with this hitch it would work.
