Question:
Hi - I have a 2016 Subaru Impreza hatchback that I want to use with a Thule easy fold XT bike carrier. The carrier will hold 1 e-bike 53 lb. Weight and 1 regular bike. What trailer hitch will work well with my vehicle and this bike carrier? Thank you.

Thanks for all the information Lynn! The best hitch for your 2016 Subaru Impreza Hatchback is going to be the Curt item # C11286 you were looking at. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Subaru with included hardware. It is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver, that will have plenty of capacity for your EasyFold XT Bike Rack item # TH903202 and your 53 lbs E-bike.
I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get this hitch set up.
