Hey guys, I have a 2023 Subaru crosstrek premium 6MT and I was wondering if this hitch receiver is compatible with a nameless exhaust 5 inch axleback. Thanks!

Draw-Tite only tests the fitment of their Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76209 on the stock exhaust that comes on your 2023 Subaru Crosstrek. I have linked an installation video of the receiver being installed so you will be able to compare it with your nameless 5" muffler exhaust on your Crosstrek.

I recommend installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118467 when you install the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector for most small trailers. It will also allow you to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 with any hitch mounted accessories that impair the view of your tail lights on your Subaru.

If you go with the Kuat NV #NV22G then you can add a 2-bike extension later using #NA22G. Or just get them both together using #NV22G-NA22G. Either way will work. The bike stand can go at the end of the NV22G (2-bike mode) or at the end of the NA22G…

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…

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 have a solution for you. Here at Etrailer, we strongly discourage using wheel-mounted bike racks like the Kuat NV 2.0 #NV22B for bikes with fenders. Mounting wheels with fenders can cause the fenders to crack or become damaged, especially with the…
