idosubaru Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Were there ever any 2" receiver hitches available for a legacy? My bike rack is 2" and using the adapter is really annoying...makes it stick out too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevetone Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 When I did the "research" on this last year I couldn't find any off the shelf that were 2". I did read about people welding up their own, but that was too much work for me. I was looking to use it only to carry bikes on a hitch mounted rack. Ended up with a 1.25" and am dealing with it...

mnwolftrack Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I couldn't find any 2" receiver hitches for a different vehicle of mine, that is, until I looked on Ebay. I didn't see one immediately on there, but I found one for a different vintage of the car I owned and asked the seller if they carried one for my year too. They did and set up a private auction for me. Got it new to my house for $130 shipped. Worth a look anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subarupusher Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I have done the adapter and tried to have one bike rack for my Subaru and truck. The result was a really loose bike rack on the larger truck hitch. Finally bought a similar 2" rack for the truck at a big sale. Easier to buy a new rack and have it fit solid than install a new hitch that may fit (been there and done that too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
