Question:

I need to get a hitch put on my 2022 Subaru Crosstrek so I can use a cargo carrier rack. I'm looking at the Curt C18100 since it is so light and folds up, so what do I need to get that going?

For your 2022 Subaru Crosstrek, I recommend the etrailer.com # e98912. This American made hitch is rated up to 3,500 pounds towing and 525 pounds of tongue weight. You will need to confirm your capacities in your owner's manual though, as this may be higher than your vehicle is rated. However, with the 2" receiver, this will have absolutely no issue carrying the 19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18100.

With the Curt # C18100 being as light as it is. you should be able to carry a good amount of cargo. To keep said cargo protected, you may want to check out the Curt Cargo Bag # C18210. This will fit the carrier very nicely and has 12-1/4 cubic feet of space.
