Will Thule T2 Pro Bike Rack Fit Curt Class III Trailer Hitch on 2018 Subaru Crosstrek

Question:

Does the Thule T2 Pro fit on a 2018 Crosstrek with the Curt C13382 hitch? Wondering if there is anything beyond the hitch that will interfere? Also, will the rack fold up completely? Thanks

The Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH83JV will work great with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13382 installed on your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek.

We have had the chance to install the Curt hitch on your vehicle (see attached video), and measured a distance of just 2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outer edge of the rear bumper. The Thule T2 Bike Rack has a distance of 5 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack when folded. This means that the Thule T2 can fold up completely with still a few inches to spare between it and the rear bumper of your Crosstrek. You will not have any interference issues between this carrier, trailer hitch, and your vehicle.

This is a really nice bike rack that can hold up to 2 bikes at 60 pounds each. It can be tilted down, with the bikes still loaded, for easy rear cargo access on the vehicle. A bike and hitch lock are also included to secure everything into place and help deter theft.

I have attached a short video demonstration on this bike rack that you can also take a look at.
