Distance from the Hitch Pin to the Rear of the Receiver on the Draw-Tite Hitch DT73RR
Updated 02/03/2026 | Published 07/29/2024
Question:
I own a 2024 Subaru Outback and would like to purchase the DT73RR Draw-Tite hitch. I am needing it for a specific bike rack VelociRax, which needs 3 3/8inch past the center of the pin hole. This additional space is for an anti-rattle feature of the bike rack. What is the measurement from the center of the pin hole to the back/rear of the hitch?

Expert Reply:
The distance from the center of the pin hole to the back of the hitch opening is 3-7/8". Additionally, you will have plenty of room because the back of the Draw-Tite Hitch item # DT73RR is open and there is nothing behind the hitch to block it.
The Draw-Tite Hitch item # DT73RR has been confirmed to fit the 2024 Subaru Outback. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your car with included hardware.
I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set up.

Hey, how did the Draw-Tite hitch work out with your VelociRax bike rack on the Outback? It sounds like the extra clearance should have covered the anti-rattle feature. Sharing how it fit could help others setting up a similar rack.
