Question:
Hi ETrailer, I have a 2017 Subaru Forester XT. I am looking for a 1 1/4inch hitch just to attach my bike rack. Are there any hitches that dont require drilling? I came across this video... ...and there was no drilling to enlarge holes or anything. Is there a 1 1/4inch hitch like what is shown in the video? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
For your 2017 Subaru Forester we have the Draw Tite hitch part # 36523 which is a confirmed fit that is a 1-1/4 inch hitch. I like this hitch over the Curt because it does not require a stabilizer strap like the Curt hitch # C12100 that is also a fit for your vehicle.
Both hitches require drilling though. Draw Tite needs frame hole enlargement.
I attached an install video for the Draw Tite hitch for you to check out as well.
