2 inch Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon for Carrying Bike Rack
Question:
I have a 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon that I want a 2 inch hitch for so I can carry a bike rack. What hitch do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
The hitch I recommend for your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon is the Draw Tite part # 76227 because it has a 2 inch opening like you want, a concealed cross tube which makes it less visible, and has a much better price than the most similar option from EcoHitch. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.
For a bike rack I really like the Saris SuperClamp EX part # SA4025F.
This is a platform bike rack that only touches the bike at the tires and only weighs 35 lbs. The biggest drawback to platform bike racks has always been the weight of them, but with this rack you get the best of both worlds. The preferred attachment style with the lighter weight.
