3 Bike Rack Recommendation for 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon with 40 lb Mountain Bike
Question:
am planning to buy a 3 bike rack for my 2018 Subaru Outback. In the specifications of those I checked, it limits the weight of bike for 30/33lbs per bike. I have three bikes: 1 which is 40lbs, 1 for 20+ lbs and 1 30 lbs. Which one can I have?

Expert Reply:
You'll need a 3 bike rack with a bit more weight capacity since you have a bike that weighs 40 lbs so the best solution is a hitch bike rack like the Kuat Transfer part # KU24FR which has a 40 lb per bike capacity and is also very easy to use and very stable. Check out the review video I attached for more info on this as well.
You'll need a 2 inch trailer hitch installed on your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon as well with the Draw Tite hitch part # 76227 which is mostly hidden and also has great weight capacities. I attached an install video for the hitch and a review video for the bike rack on a similar Outback as yours.
