2 inch Hitch Recommendation for 2024 Subaru Forester for Bike Rack

Updated 09/23/2025 | Published 09/19/2025

Question:

I own a 2024 Subaru Forester. My primary interest is towing my e- bikes using a THULE RACK. What model class III tow hitch do you recommend please? Thank you, Richard

Hey Richard, I have a couple great options for Class III hitches that fit your 2024 Subaru Forester. If you want a mostly hidden hitch the Curt # C47HR would be a great option as it only has the hitch opening that hangs below the rear bumper.

If you were wanting something more hidden we have the Hidden Hitch part # DT24YR which has removable lower opening so that when not in use it would be totally invisible.

What Thule bike rack do you have?

Hello Jameson, My Thule rack is the only one that folds up. It fits perfect in my 2006 Toyota Tacoma truck receiver hitch. Also, I want to utilize my cargo deck sometimes which also fit on my truck. Do you need any pics ? I’m hoping I can use the #47HR for both the Rack and the cargo deck sometimes for the Subaru. Send me back a email reply and I will send you a pic attachment. Thank you,

@RichardB The Curt hitch # C47HR would work just fine for both the bike rack and hitch cargo carrier you mentioned. If you want to send me pictures of the setup you can at [email protected]
