Can a Class I Hitch be Used to Tow Triumph Motorcycle and Trailer With 2018 Subaru Impreza
Question:
Can I pull a motorcycle trailer with a street bike, Triumph Daytona or Triumph Bonneville with a class 1 on my Subaru Impreza? Thanks

Expert Reply:
In order to determine if you can pull your motorcycle trailer and Triumph bikes you will need to know the tongue weight and trailer weight of what you are towing. You will also want to consult the owners manual of your vehicle to find the towing capacity for your 2018 Subaru Impreza.
For the Curt # C11465 the maximum gross towing weight is 2,000 lbs and maximum tongue weight is 200 lbs. As long as you do not exceed the tongue weight and towing weight of the hitch and your vehicle you should be able to tow your motorcycle and trailer.
Since you are planning on doing some towing, I recommend the # 118744 T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Connector for your wiring needs. This is a custom fit wiring harness for your Impreza with easy plug in installation. I also recommend the Draw-Tite # 3593 ball mount as well as the # 19258 hitch ball.
I have attached a helpful article on how to determine trailer tongue weight as well as an installation video for the hitch you may reference.
