I need a 2" hitch for a 2008 Subaru Forester. Recommendations on brand? Any class, I'll be using it for a bike rack. Thanks

Thanks but all of the hitches on etrailer and Curt's website for my car are 1 1/4, I need a 2"

2' Might be out of yer vehicles class.
You could nigger rig a 2" reciever to a 1.25 by chopping a stock 1.25 up and welding the 2 inch up to her. In that case I would try finding used components.
Or you could just buy one of those gay bike racks that have the ratchet straps for your tailgate.

Reese Towpower Hitch Class III, 2" Box Opening, Model #51035

your welcome

Dude they make sleeves to size down your reciever, just go with the cheapest you can find. Your hauling a fucking bike not a 30 ft enclosed trailer.

I have a Saris Freedom rack and I love it. It will fit the 1.25" and has an adapter for 2".

>>13934421
I second this.

>goes with cheap crap
I've played that game. There's more slop and the rack sways during driving. Using same bike rack, put in a proper hitch and had no slop. There isn't much of a price difference from class II to class III hitches.

Pretty sure they exist, just from the places anon mentioned. Thanks though. And I already have the bike rack, just not the hitch, and the website said the rack is compatible with my specific vehicle

I got the Saris Freedom 4-bike, that one only works with 2", it's the 2-bike version that works with 1.25. Thanks though

According to the Reese website that model only fits Dodge Durangos. Am I missing something?

ah well, it's a great rack, I may end up getting the Freedom 4 next year.

>>13935832
Yeah, I expect it to be great.

Do you have any suggetstions on hitches, considering the one anon linked is for a different type of vehicle?
