  I do have a 2 inch hitch that is a no-drill installation for your 2016 Subaru Outback. It is the Curt # C13410. These hitches are getting very popular with Subaru owners.

In this case it means...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Honda CR-V
  Best option for a trailer hitch on your 2019 Honda CR-V will be the etrailer hitch part # E98848 because this hitch has the 2 inch hitch size which has better towing capacities and has a concealed crosstube which makes it look nicer and help with ground clearance. This will work great to carry your Saris bike rack and tow a small trailer. The weight of the hitch is on 29 lbs so it won't affect ride quality at all either.

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Toyota Tacoma
  Both the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch # 13323 and the Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch # 75236 would work well for you. These Class III trailer hitches have a 2 inch receiver, 5,000 pound max towing weight and 500 pound max tongue weight. For installation, both hitches require the bumper brackets to be loosed or removed. I would go with the Curt trailer hitch, as it is more economically friendly than Draw-Tite.

• How To Tell If a Ford Transit Has the Tow Package and Parts Needed To Add It
  The Ford Transit if equipped with the factory tow package would have came with both a trailer hitch and trailer connector and they would both be located directly under the rear bumper so odds are you do not have either because they are not hard to locate. The factory tow package was also not a very common option but I can provide you with everything to add this on your own at a fraction of the price.

• Comparing Available Hitches for a 2015 Mercedes Benz ML350 4matic
  Typically most trailer hitches that fit on the same vehicle will have only subtle differences, like whether or not the cross tube is round or square, or whether the cross tube is concealed behind the bumper or not. The Curt # C13411 and the Draw-Tite # 76141 are both 2" hitches that will install in the exact same manner, so there isn't any real difference between the two. With that said, I do recommend going with the Curt # C13411 since Curt hitches do have a much more durable powder...

  Congrats on the purchase of your 2017 Honda Pilot. For your roof rack, the naked roof will require the custom door clips instead of the other options you mentioned.

  When it comes to carrying your 88-lbs kayak carrier on the Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG462G2, it's not the trailer with that capacity but the Malone J-Pro Kayak Carrier # MPG117MD that has the 75-lbs capacity.
