Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack For a 2024 Subaru Forester
Question:
I just got a 2024 Subaru Forester and I am going to use it to start riding trails with my bike. Can you tell me what hitch and bike rack you recommend for my Forester?

Expert Reply:
I recommend our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e83ZR for your 2024 Subaru Forester. This has the more common 2" opening which allows for a larger selection of hitch mounted bike racks. I prefer this receiver as it has the matte black finish which I feels give the best factory appearance.
The Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack # KU98VR is my favorite bike rack as it is so versatile. It can be used to carry bikes up to 67lbs and can be used on wheels 18"-29" in diameter. Built in locks allow you to secure your bikes and the rack to your Forester.
You will want to install the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56040 with the receiver. This will power the lights built into the Kuat rack.
