Question:

Hello, Im looking for a hitch carrier to haul my vespa 150cc with my subaru outback 2017 3.6R. Can you recommend one that will work my car?

It looks like a Vespa 150cc weighs around 245-lbs and has a wheel base of around 4-1/2" feet, so you can use the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches # UF48-979033. This carrier has a 500-lb weight capacity and includes a 39-inch ramp to make loading the Vespa easier. Additionally, this carrier weighs about 48-lbs, so as long as the tongue weight capacity on your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon is greater than 300-lbs this would be a great option. If your Outback has a lower capacity than that, your best bet is going to be towing it behind you with a small trailer.

If you don't have a trailer hitch on the back of your 2017 Subaru Outback already, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98847 is a great solution that will allow you to carry that Ultra-Fab carrier.

I've linked some review and installation videos of these parts for you to have a look at.
