Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2019 Subaru Forester for Bike Rack
Question:
The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76271 is a great option for your 2019 Subaru Forester to use with a bike rack. It appears that you may be looking at the two holes on the receiver based on your question and the pin hole closest to the receiver is not the hitch pin hole. It is a smaller hole that is designed specifically for a pin that is no longer necessary or available. The only thing to consider with your bike rack is you will need 5 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outermost bumper so you will need a bike rack compatible with that measurement. Normally the folded position on a platform rack is the smallest distance.
