Question:

I have 2013 Subaru Outback 2.5 with Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 75673. I am thinking about getting a Rage PowerSport Steel Motorcycle Carrier, # MX600 to tow my Suzuki Vstrom 650. I saw lot of trucks with this setup but not smaller vehicles. I was wondering if I'll be able to do that? According to specs it should be fine. Just wanted to reconfirm. Thanks!

The Rage PowerSport Steel Motorcycle Carrier MX600, is designed to fit in 2" hitch receivers with at least 500 lbs of tongue weight, and your Draw-Tite Max-Frame receiver, # 75673, has a maximum tongue weight of 600 lbs, so the hitch can support the motorcycle and carrier. I have added a video review of the Rage carrier for you.

Please remember that it is important for you check the owner's manual to ensure that your 2013 Subaru Outback can support the amount of weight you will be hauling.
