Trailer Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2011 Subaru Outback
Updated 07/07/2011 | Published 07/06/2011
Question:
I would like to install Draw-Tite 75673 with a Reese Eclipse Bike Carrier 63124. Can you tell me if I will be able to open the rear cargo door of a 2011 Subaru Outback Wagon with the carrier in the tilted down position? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
When installed on your 2011 Subaru Outback, there will be approximately 7 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the rear edge of the bumper. The Swagman Original # S64400, measures 14.5 inches from hitch pin hole center to the back of the up right bar, and tilts down at about a 45 degree angle. This should be enough for you to be able to open the rear hatch on the vehicle.
This should be a good choice for you.
