Trailer Hitch for 2015 Subaru Impreza Hatchback

Question

Question:

Subaru Impreza hatchback. I want to put a dirt bike on my Subaru Impreza. I do not believe I have the center piece that removes on the bumper, but I have a one on the rear on the left for my kayaks. Is there anyway I can do to make this hitch work on my car anything that can hold my dirt bike, which is 215 lbs approx.

While there is a hitch that will fit your 2015 Subaru Impreza hatchback with a single exhaust, the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7211 will only work if you have the knock-out panel in the center of the rear fascia (bumper).

Since you mentioned you do not have that the only option will be to use a different trailer hitch, the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT24959, which is still going to be hidden very well under the bumper. I have added a link to a video install and the instructions of this hitch for you to take a look at.

The only downside is that the hitch is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver, which is the only size available for your Impreza, and that means there are no carriers which are going to work with your dirt bike. You will need a small trailer such as the Detail K2 Mighty Multi Utility Trailer # K2MMT4X6 with Tie-Downs such as # IMF12637.

You will also need trailer wiring, a ball mount, and a hitch ball. For your vehicle the correct 4-way wiring harness is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118573 and the correct ball mount is Draw-Tite Drawbar # 3593. This ball mount comes with a pin and clip so you do not have to buy that separately so you will just need 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # 19256 for the Detail K2 trailer or a similar one with a 1-7/8" coupler, or if you go with a different trailer that accepts a 2" ball you will need the 2" Hitch Ball # 19258.

The EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver part #306-X7211 as the name states is almost completely concealed once installed. It installs behind the rear bumper and the receiver tube opening will be located behind the center knockout panel. It is…

There are several choices available, but the correct hitch for you will depend on how concealed you'd like the hitch to be. For a 5 door wagon (single exhaust-equipped models only), you can go with a 2 inch receiver, which I'd recommend.…

While there is a trailer hitch that fits a 2013 Subaru Impreza sedan the #DT24959 you referenced only fits an Impreza 5-door wagon with a single exhaust. Instead you will need Curt Trailer Hitch #C11408 UNLESS your '13 Impreza sedan is a WRX or…

We carry one 2 inch trailer hitch receiver to fit your 2015 Subaru Impreza, the EcoHitch, part #306-X7211. However, it only fits if your vehicle has the knock out panel on the rear bumper. If your Impreza doesn't have a knock out panel then…

Answer 5

I'm afraid your husband is correct to be concerned. The trailer hitch receivers we carry for your Impreza, like the Draw-Tite #DT24959, are all Class I hitches and will need an expander to fit the Yakima HoldUp for 2 Inch Hitch Receivers #Y02443.…

The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Recevier #C11286 is confirmed to fit your 2014 Subaru Impreza Wagon. Also, Curt requires the use of a support strap, part #18050, for non-trailer loads like bike racks when using this hitch. If you do not use the strap…

For your 2016 Subaru Impreza the Draw Tite #DT24959 is a fit and a great choice for carrying a bike rack like the ones you mentioned. In terms of ground clearance the Saris SuperClamp EX part #SA4025F is the best option as it has the most rise built…

We have hitch fits for your 2017 Subaru Impreza but the Hidden Hitch 90092 you referenced does not fit your vehicle as it was designed for much older Ford cars. Instead the most hidden option we have for your vehicle is the EcoHitch part #306-X7350…

Answer 10

Some of the same trailer hitch receivers for the 2014 Subaru Impreza fit the 2015 models. It depends on the specific model of Impreza because there was a larger vareity in 2014. For your Sport Limited I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe, part…
