4 Bike Thule Bike Rack Recommendation for 2018 Subaru Outback

Hi, I am looking for a Thule 4 bike rack hitch for my 2018 Subaru outback. Can you please suggest the product along with the link so that I can review this? Thanks in advance,

Expert Reply:
To carry a 4 bike rack with your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon you'll need to have a trailer hitch installed like with the Draw Tite part # 76227 which is a mostly hidden 2 inch hitch that has great weight capacities.
Then for a 4-bike Thule rack we have the Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR that you referenced which would work well for a more basic bike rack that will get the job done that has the core features on nicer bike racks without being overly expensive like anti rattle hitch pin and anti-sway bike frame cradles that help prevent contact between bikes.
Or for a rack with updated cradles, anti rattle device, and tilt feature the Apex part # TH9025XT would work great or the swinging version part # TH9027XT which can swing out and away from the vehicle when loaded to give total access to rear cargo area.
