Finding 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2 Bike Rack On 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Sport

Published 08/18/2025

Question:

I just bought a 2024 Crosstrek Sport and want to use 2-bike rack for weekend rides. Will the Trailer Mate hitch be strong enough for that or is a different one better. thanks

Sara, you’ll be all set. The Trailer Mate 2" # TMT94FR is rated for 150 lbs of tongue weight, which is plenty for a 2-bike rack plus a couple of standard bikes. Just keep in mind if you ever add heavier bikes such as e-bikes, you’ll want to double-check the combined weight and make sure you don't exceed 150lbs. Keep in mind your vehicle seems to have a tongue weight limit of 150lbs as well, so going with a different receiver will not increase that capacity.

Have you already picked out a rack, or are you still deciding?

And for other Crosstrek riders out there - what’s been your favorite bike rack setup with this hitch?
