Receiver Depth of Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch and EcoHitch for 2016 Subaru Outback

Question

Question:

Hello, I am shopping for a trailer hitch and have narrowed it down to the Draw Tite 2inch receiver 76227 . I will primarily use it for a hitch mounted bike rack. What is the pin hole depth and receiver depth? What about the bumper clearance when mounted on a 2016 Subaru Outback? Thanks for your help!

I went out to the warehouse to take the measurements you asked for and found that the hitch measured approximately 2-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of the receiver.

In terms of the receiver depth of the Draw-Tite # 76227 it measured approximately 7-1/2 inches in total.

In terms of clearance the Draw-Tite # 76227 on a 2016 Subaru Outback juts out a bit.
