Question:

I was wondering if you have any products or recommendations to set me up to be able to carry a motorcycle rack on to the WRX STI. Its a CBR600 so its roughly 400lbs or less. Thanks!

Expert Reply:

Only option would be to tow a small trailer for the motorcycle. There are no hitches available that have the needed capacity to carry a 400 lb motorcycle and carrier.

The Curt Class I hitch part # C11408 is a fit for your vehicle and would work well for towing a lightweight trailer as long it weighs less than 2k loaded. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

For trailer wiring you would need the part # C56259 which is a confirmed fit.

For a ball mount you would want the part # C45521, and hitch ball part # A-80 for 1-7/8 inch ball or # A-82 for 2 inch ball.
