Best Trailer Hitch for 2019 Subaru Impreza Sport Hatchback for Bike Rack
Question:
I have a 2019 Subaru Impreza Sport hatchback and am looking to add a trailer hitch for biking and such. I know that there are a lot more options for decent racks for a 2 inch hitch so I definitely want that, but which one is otherwise the best for my Impreza hatchback?

The best trailer hitch receiver for your 2019 Subaru Impreza Hatchback to carry your bikes is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7350 for one simple reason: ground clearance.
I added two photos that our customers were nice enough to send in which should help you see the difference (the photo that is a bit grainy is of the EcoHitch).
With this hitch I strongly recommend getting a bike rack that has a rise in the shank so you can optimize your ground clearance. The racks with a rise in the shank that I recommend checking out are:
- Saris Freedom 2-Bike Platform Rack # SA4412B (8 Inch Rise)
- Hollywood Racks Trail Rider 2-Bike Platform Rack # HR200Z (5 Inch Rise)
- Swagman XC 2-Bike Platform Rack # S64650 (4 Inch Rise)
