Question:

Hi! Id like to use this hitch # e98839 with Thule T2 pro x on my 2015 Subaru forester. Will that combo work together or should I look for another hitch? Thanks!

Yes, our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98839 will work with the Thule T2 Pro X Bike Rack 2-Bike # TH83GC or 4-Bike # TH26ZE behind your 2015 Subaru Forester. Both of these bikes racks are 6-3/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack. Our etrailer Receiver # e98839 is 4-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the rear edge of your bumper so you will have 2-1/4" of clearance to the rack.

Personally I do prefer the appearance of the Curt Receiver # CU64FR as it uses the hidden cross tube. This rack also only has 2" from the hitch pin center hole to the rear edge of your bumper so you will have 4-3/4" of clearance between the rear bumper and the bike rack if that is a concern.

Be sure to install the 4-Way # C56040 when you install the receiver. This will allow you to add Auxiliary Lights # C53201 as your bikes will most likely interfere with the view of your tail lights to other drivers on the road.
