Solution to Allow Thule T2 Pro to Fit 2 inch Hitch of 2022 Subaru Outback

Question

Question:

Hi - I had a Subaru OEM 2foot trailer hitch installed on my 2022 Outback. The cut out of my rear bumper guard for the hitch receiver is too small to accept my Thule T2 Pro 2 Auto Pin. Will your Trailer Hitch Extender work? Thank you.

Yes, the etrailer hitch extender part # e88YR would work to allow you to use the OEM hitch of your 2022 Subaru Outback with the Thule T2 Pro XTR part # TH83JV which has the auto pin setup. This will move the hitch opening for the rack out 8 inches which would be enough for the auto pin not to interfere with your bumper.

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

Be sure to watch my review video of the Thule T2 Pro #TH83JV. It does have cable locks stowed away in the wheel hook arms! It's hard to see since they stow away so nicely. I really like the design especially compared to just having a sloppy bike…

I've never heard of an actual third brake light connector on a camper shell to plug in on a truck and we don't carry any parts to do that. The light generally needs to be hardwired into the truck's brake light circuit. The issue with this…

Thank you for purchasing from etrailer! You did a great job selecting compatible parts. When using Leaf Springs #e64SR with the #AP233 Equalizer Kit and the #H248 Hanger Kit, there should be 29-1/2" between the front and center hangers and…

The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 #SH22G and the NV 2.0 #NV22G that you referenced are both excellent platform-style racks that will hold your bikes by the front wheels with no frame contact. These are top-of-the-line carriers and you really would not go wrong…

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…

I do have an option for you, but we do not carry the Dexter 072-027-00 you mentioned. However we do have the etrailer Double-Eye Spring for 7,000-lb Trailer Axles - 24-7/8" Long #e64SR which will be 3/8" shorter but that is still close…

Answer 12

Hello Jody, There is indeed a bike rack capable of carrying a pair of ebikes and a pair of road bikes at the same time, so long as you have a 2 inch hitch. That said, it really depends on how much your ebikes weigh, but a good option to start with is…
