Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2008 Subaru Impreza
Question:
I have a 2008 Subaru Impreza that I want to attach a motorcycle trailer carrier to. It’s an L shaped device that holds the front tire of the motorcycle allowing the back tire to drag instead of a full trailer. Which trailer hitch would work best? The bike is maybe 400+ lbs. Thank you.

Expert Reply:
For your 2008 Subaru Impreza, I recommend the EcoHitch Class 2 hitch # 306-X7261. I prefer this hitch over the others we offer, because it has the highest tongue weight capacity at 300 lbs. With a motorcycle carrier like the one you are describing, I think the additional capacity will be key. It is also the only hitch we offer for your vehicle that has a 2" receiver. So you will have no trouble finding compatible accessories. This hitch also features a removable receiver, so it will be completely hidden when not in use.
