Question:

I am curious how this would work with my Subaru wagon? I have a 2 inch hitch, but I dont know it it would be too tall, too much weight, etc. Would it have to be in the tilted position so that the bikes dont hit the back of the car? Thanks!

The Yakima HangOver 4-Bike Rack for Mountain Bikes # Y02484 works superbly on a 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon with a 2 inch trailer hitch like the Curt # C67JR.

The weight will not be any problem at all, because even if you load the HangOver to its max capacity of 4 bikes weighing 37.5 lbs, it will still come in way under the tongue weight capacity of the hitches that fit your 2020 Outback.

Additionally, you will have enough ground clearance to use the HangOver without issue as well as enough bumper clearance and height so you don't have to use it in the tilted position. This is going to be a fantastic way to carry your mountain bikes with your 2020 Subaru Outback.

I have added a link to a video review as well for the Yakima HangOver 4-Bike Rack for Mountain Bikes # Y02484.

How about the 4-bike Hangover with a 2020 Subaru Crosstrek? I just purchased the 2" receiver and installed it on my car and am now looking at the Hangover vs. Platform style.

The Yakima HangOver # Y02484 would work great on your 2020 Crosstrek. I do like the HangOver a lot but it's important to note that all 4 of your bikes have to be relatively similar in size (it won't work if you have a couple of kids bikes mixed in). I honestly think a platform rack will offer a lot more versatility and is easier to load.
