Will UltraSwing Multi-Fit Spare Tire Carrier Fit with etrailer Hitch on 2021 Subaru Crosstrek

Updated 09/05/2022 | Published 09/02/2022

Question:

Hey there, Im looking to purchase this hitch: Item # e98912. Im planning to have a tire swing out and Im wondering if this would be compatible with it. The requirement for the swing out from the company is: You will need 4.5 or less from your vehicles hitch pin hole to the furthest protruding point of your bumper and you will need a minimum of 4 of insertion in your hitch. I didnt see any measurements listed for this hitch so Im not sure it is compatible. Looking for a little help on this. It's the UltraSwing from Rig'd Supply. I have a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek and confirmed everything will fit the vehicle. Thanks for your help!

Hi!

The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98912 is a great option for carrying a spare tire at the back of your 2021 Subaru Crosstrek. The face of the receiver is about even with the rearmost part of your bumper so you're looking at about 2-ish inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to that part of your bumper.

I didn't see any place about that 4" length of the receiver for the UltraSwing Multi-Fit, but this hitch receiver is open all the way through so it won't get stopped short of what you're needing.

Attached is an installation video of this hitch on a 2021 Crosstrek for you to check out.
