2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Bike Rack Recommendation for EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch
Question:
Hi, is there a way to use this hitch rack with a EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2 inch that I have on my 2014 Crosstrek? Its a tight fit and with the attached auto pin I dont think it will be able to go in. Advice?

I have a solution for you to use a bike rack with a ramp on your 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek with the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7203, but unfortunately the AutoAttach system on the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 rules it out as a valid candidate.
For your application I recommend using the Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # BA22B along with the Access Ramp # ANVBRB. This is one of the nicest racks we offer that secures the bikes by their tires, can handle 60 lb bikes, and can be used with an Add-On # BA02B if you'll be traveling with more than 2 bikes. The NV 2.0 Base has an integrate anti-rattle knob to secure the rack to your hitch receiver but then there is a separate locking hitch pin that simply slips in place so you'll be able to reach up and behind the bumper to install it.
To help line of the hitch pin holes on the rack and the hitch receiver I recommend using our Hitch Pin Alignment Collar # e98942 so you get it lined up the first time, every time.
