Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Subaru Crosstrek for Bike Rack
Question:
I see you have a ton of options for my 2019 Subaru Crosstrek but which do you recommend for a bike rack?

Expert Reply:
The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek and the one I would use personally is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13382. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver is the only trailer hitch available that has a hidden design meaning that only the receiver tube is visible from behind the vehicle so you have that factory-like appearance and does not require you to remove the entire rear bumper fascia. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver is also a bolt-on option with no cutting or drilling required taking most on average only around thirty minutes to an hour to install.
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver has a class III rating which is not required for a bike rack but it will allow you to carry more bikes (up to 4/5) and it also provides you with a much greater list of compatible bike racks to choose from. I recommend the Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR which allows for up to four bikes and it can tilt away from the vehicle so you can still get into the rear hatch.
I have attached an install photo and video for you on the above trailer hitch as well as a review video on the bike rack.
