Question:
I have a 2010 Subaru Forester and am wondering if the Yakima HoldUp Hitch Bike Rack will be compatible with the this trailer hitch before installing. Thank you.

Yes, the Yakima HoldUp bike carrier # Y02443-2 is compatible with the Curt trailer hitch # 13147 for a 2010 Subaru Forester. However, Curt does say that you need to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for a bike carrier. Since the carrier isn't really designed for that I recommend going with Draw-Tite, # 75650. It does not require a strap.
