Ryan Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon we're gonna be showing you how to install the etrailer.com 7-Way upgrade kit. But before we get into that, why don't just take a minute check this out and talk about what it's going to accomplish.

Rightline Gear Accessories and Parts Review - 2009 Subaru Forester- Video
Evangeline: Hi it's Evangeline from etrailer.com and today we are looking at the Rightline Gear Moki door step here on our 2009 Subaru Forester. Now, this is a great tool to have in your car or in your garage whenever you need to reach up on your roof, to clear out snow, attach bike racks, attach accessories, or a cargo carrier like what we have here. On our Forester we have this factory roof rack as well as our cargo carrier. So what that means is that I need to reach up there and put stuff in. I might be installing accessories on my roof rack on my Forester here. So I need to get up there.So the best way to do that is with this door step and on our Subaru, if I put it into the back wheel, because there is that slope from the wheel well, it does have a bit of an angle, which is fine because there's rubber behind there, so it's secure, it's safe. more

Malone Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek MPG2112-2115- Video
Today on our 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek we're going to be test fitting the Malone Pilot 4-bike rack, part number MPG2112-2115. We already have a bike installed on the rack. Let's take a closer look and show off some of the features. Now the most prominent feature about this bike rack is the fact that it can tilt away from the vehicle with all four bikes still attached to gain rear hatch access. To do that, come up to the front here where we have this pin, loosen that up, lift up a little bit on the bike rack itself, and then you notice that it actually doesn't come down. That's because there's a catch up at the front to make sure that doesn't happen so it doesn't come down too fast on you once you release the pin. Instead, you just pull out like so, and now it tilts down. more
