Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2017 Subaru Legacy for Use with 1-1/4 Inch Bike Rack
Published 04/13/2017
Question:
I will be buying a 2017 Subaru Legacy soon. I had the car hitch installed and I put the Draw Tite bike rack on my 2007 Toyota Camry many years ago. Does Draw Tite or some other hitch work for the Legacy so that I can put the rack into the opening or just what kind of bike rack will fit just what kind of bike rack?

Expert Reply:
Since all of the trailer hitches that were available for the 2007 Camry were Class II hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers your bike rack is likely made to fit a 1-1/4 inch receiver. So to use that same bike rack you can get a Class II hitch for your 2017 Subaru Legacy. The Class II Draw-Tite hitch that fits is # 36493. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation of this hitch for you.
