Question:
Hi, I have a 2023 crosstrek, and I found your your bike rack product KU84FR when I was search for bike rack that does not interfere with the back up camera. On your website, I input my car info, and the hitch info for my car shows Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Round Tube Receiver Hitch - 2023 Subaru Crosstrekinch . Question1, can I use any type of hitch, rather than the recommended Draw-Tite if I purchase the KU84FR for two bikes? I plan to call a hitch bit rack installer listed on your website, near the area where I live. One of these companies is Orlandi Trailer in san jose, CA. There are other installers in the bay area in your list as well, and they probably sell and install other hitches as well. Do you sell KU84FR Rack for one bike price please most of the time, I am the only rider, and also sell the adapter price please, to add one or two or three bikes later on, if needed? I see you that KU84FR has a wheel latch, as well as a center bar latch, option, so which style will less likely to block the rear camera? Do you have a video on the KU84FR rack where the center bar is latched? Thanks. Terence

If you're after the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 1 Bike then you'll need part # KU64FR which is compatible with both 1-1/4" and 2" hitches. Therefore, you can use pretty much any hitch on a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek with this rack but I do recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98912 since it's a bolt-on option and easy to install.
In regards to backup camera visibility, you'll have partial restriction but due to the open design of this rack it should allow for better than most other bike rack options so if that is a big concern for you then it's your best choice. We unfortunately don't have any shots of what the view will look like.
