Best Bike Rack That Won't Cover Backup Camera on 2020 Subaru Forester Sport
Question:
I have a 2020 subaru forester sport, I am installing either the curt or draw hitch for my subaru. I am searching for a bike rack that wont interfere with the back up camera. I would like a bike rack that fits 2 bikes that attach to my 2 inch hitch. Also a bike rack that can tilt away with the bikes ON THE RACK being able to access the cargo trunk. Please help, any suggestions? Thank you.

From what I've seen, the best bike rack when it comes to license plate and backup camera clearance is the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU84FR. This has a u-shaped goal post design, so that when the bike rack is folded up, there is less bike rack covering your back up camera. It also tilts away for when you want full access to your trunk. Having the bikes loaded will still obstruct your camera somewhat, but you can make slight adjustments on the pitch of the front wheel cradle to try to get the best fit with your bikes. I attached a video below if you want to see it in action on a SUV.
As a lightweight bike rack with a great weight capacity of 60 lbs per bike, the solid 2" shank will pair well with your 2" hitch like the # C13409 from Curt.
