Best Trailer Hitch for Using the Thule Parkway Bike Rack on a 2016 Subaru Forester

Question:

Hello, I am looking to buy a receiver for a Thule Parkway 4 bike rack. Is this a good choice? C13144 Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2 - C13144 Or is there another you would recommend? Thanks so much

The Curt Trailer Hitch # C13144 is a great option to pair with the Thule Parkway 4 bike rack! I think it looks great installed and you'll have more than enough clearance for the bike rack to fit. I have attached an installation video of this hitch on a 2017 Forester that you can check out.

The only other hitch that I'd recommend going with over this is the Curt # CU64FR but that's just because it has a hidden crosstube that looks a bit more clean since all you can see is the receiver.

Installation instructions have been added for each that you can check out.
