Will the Thule Roadway Bike Rack fit a Draw Tite Hitch 36493

Question

Question:

Hi Jameson- I forgot to mention the most important part of my question. In your photo you have a Subaru Outback, I have a 2014 Subaru Legacy, now that I know it will fit my bike rack, with it properly fit my car? I saw you have a different item number related to the Legacy, but it is a 2inch and I need the 1.25. thanks again!

The Draw Tite Hitch part # 36493 that you referenced is also a 1-1/4 inch hitch so your Thule Roadway part number 912XT that is designed for a 1-1/4 inch hitch would work well in it.

I attached an install video for the hitch for you to check out as well.

There is both a 2 inch and a 1-1/4 inch hitch available for a 2014 Subaru Legacy. If you went with the 2 inch hitch part # 75673 you would only need the adapter part # 853-7292 so that your Roadway Bike Rack would fit a 2 inch bike rack. Or if you wanted a 1-1/4 inch hitch you would want the # 36493 and you wouldn't need an adapter at all.
