Thule Hitching Post Pro Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2008 Subaru Outback Wagon- Video
Today on our 2008 Subaru Outback wagon we're going to do a test fit of the Thule Hitching Post Pro. This is a tilting and folding 4-bike rack. They've designed it so we can use it 1-1/4" or 2" hitches. The part number on it is TH934XTR. To begin our test we'll slide the shank of our rack right into the receiver tube of our hitch. Need to slide it in far enough to line up our threaded hole with our hitch pinhole. With those in line we'll take our provided anti-rattle bolt; we're going to slide that in and then go ahead and start threading it. more
