4 Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon Carrying 4 Adult Mountain Bikes
Question:
Hello, I have a 2018 Subaru Outback 3.6 Limited with a class III hitch. I plan on carrying 4 adult mountain bikes. What would you recommend as far as a 4 bike hanging rack? How about for a tray style rack? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
For your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon I recommend going with the Thule Apex Swing XT 4 Bike Rack # TH9027XT because it only weighs in at 42 lbs, it can hold up to 4 bikes weighing in at 37.5 lbs each. The best part is that this has a swinging arm that allows you to move your bike rack and all of the bikes out of the way for complete rear hatch access without psychically removing them from your vehicle. Since it sounds like you'll have 4 adults in your Outback Wagon you're going to want that rear hatch access to get at all of the gear you'll have in the back.
