Question:

Do you have a version of the hitch with a 2inch receiver? I have a bike rack and storage rack with a 2inch receiver for my other car. Would also like to have a hitch with a 2inch receiver for my WRX.

Expert Reply:

2 inch trailer hitches are reserved for larger vehicles that would have higher towing capacities like trucks and SUVs. For your 2016 Subaru WRX the only trailer hitch size we offer is 1-1/4 inch like the Curt hitch part # C11408 that you referenced.

You would have to go with a new bike rack to be able to transport bikes with your WRX if your current rack only fits 2 inch hitches.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a review video for you to check for the strap as well.
