Question:
Want to order hidden hitch for 2011 Subaru Outback. I have a Thule Parkway 4. Will the Parkway clear the bumper? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
The Hidden Hitch # 87568 when installed will measure 7 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the furthest point of the bumper, and your Thule Parkway 4 Bike Carrier measures 9-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest upright bar of the rack. So you would have the necessary clearance to install your rack onto your vehicle if you install a # 87568 on your vehicle.
I attached installation instructions and an installation video for you to check out that shows the hitch pin to bumper measurement.
Check out the pictures I attached that show what the # 87568 looks like when installed.
