Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack for 2023 Subaru Outback Touring XT
Question:
I need a hitch for my 2023 Outback Touring XT so I can carry 2 fat tire bikes. I also want a platform bike rack. I had a Kuat in the past and really liked it so I wouldn't mind sticking with the same brand. What do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
For a hitch to hold your bike rack on your 2023 Outback Touring XT I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e25TR. This Class III hitch has a 2" receiver and features a matte black powder coat finish. The maximum tongue weight of 350 lbs will be more than enough for your bikes and the rack. It also comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
For a Kuat platform bike rack I recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # BA22B. The rack comes with one adapter for fat tires already, so you will only need one additional adapter # APBK for your second bike. This rack can tilt with your bikes for rear cargo access and also folds up for storage when not in use. It comes with keyed-alike locks for added security. This also features a matte black finish so it will look really slick with the # e25TR.
