Is the RidgeBack 2 Compatible with the EcoTech Hitch # 306-X7211 on a 2015 Subaru Impreza?

Question:

Is this bike rack compatible with a 2” EcoHitch Invisi 306-X7211 installed behind bumper fascia using factory knock-out panel on 2015 Impreza Sport? This looks like a great option, but I’m confused what dimensions I need to consider for access or clearance.

The dimensions you need to consider when seeing if the Yakima RidgeBack 2 # Y02457 will clear the fascia Eco-Hitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7211 is the 9-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pinhole to the closest part of the RidgeBack 2. The closest part of the rack of the RidgeBack 2 is the inner edge of the circular black pivot piece. If you are worried about bumper clearance on your 2015 Subaru Impreza, the dimension from the pinhole to the inside of the mast (11-1/2 inches) is the measurement you need to consider.
