Trailer Hitch for 2018 Subaru Outback For Carrying Kuat Transfer Bike Rack
Question:
For a trailer hitch to fit your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon which will allow you to also use your Kuat Transfer TS02G the Curt Hitch # C13206 would be your best option as it allows the rack to fold up unlike the Draw Tite. This is a 2 inch trailer hitch which very easily support your bike rack when it has the 2 inch hitch adapter installed. 2 inch hitches are preferred as they have higher capacities and have more accessories made for them. The Curt hitch will allow the rack to fold up but requires you to use a stabilizer strap so it's a trade off. Also the Draw Tite brand does not require the use of a stabilizer strap like the Curt hitches do.
