Question:

Hi We just bought a 2019 Subaru Outback and I need to install a trailer hitch. We have the Thule T2 Pro XT hitch mounted bike rack with two bike add on - now I want to make sure I buy the right trailer hitch so that I can fold up the bike rack and not have it hit my bumper. Thanks much

Helpful Expert Reply:

The best trailer hitch that is offered for your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76227. The reason that this trailer hitch is the best is because it is hidden which means only the receiver tube portion is shown (see photo) therefore you can still have the clean factory like look of your vehicle and it sits the closest to the rear edge of the bumper (2") so you can fold the Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Rack with 2-Bike Add-On part # TH83JV and TH9036XT up without issue.

I have attached an install video for you as well. Please note, this install process will be a bit more in-depth than others but it is well worth it.
