Will the Curt Trailer Hitches for a 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon Work With Any Bike Rack

Question:

I planning to use the Kuat Beta 1-1/4 hitch on this car. The distance from the bolt hole on the stinger to the end of the hitch is 1-3/4. Will both the Curt and Drawtite hitches accommodate this rack? Thanks.

In regards to the aftermarket trailer hitch options for a 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12136 for 1-1/4" or part # C13206 for 2", you won't have any issue with 99% of bike racks on the market. The hitch pin hole and receiver tube depth are all beyond the requirements for the vast majority of bike racks. Therefore the Kuat rack you have will not be a problem.
