FRS BRZ Receiver Hitch
 
Anyone know where I might find one? Need a 1 1/4" hitch for a bike rack. Surely someone has one in the works...

Check your manual, Toyota does not recommend that you fit any bike racks, tow hitches or anything of the like to your car; Also in my opinion, it will look horrible on the car...

Waiting for one as well, but it's going to be awhile because of the muffler. Email Curt and ask for one - if they know there's a market they might speed it up.

+1 I will be interested to see what the options are. I don't think they can make a Subaru without an option for a rack.

Emailed a couple of sellers already, but contacting a manufacturer is a better idea. Found a local hitch co. here in Houston who will make a one-off hitch, but no manufacturers locally who would be putting them into production.

Post up here if your interested & maybe we can speed things up a bit.

I want a hitch for bikes also. I emailed Curt - they said more or less no.

But if you can get this "one off" I'd be interested!

Khyron686 07-27-2012 02:19 PM

It was the same problem with the EvoX - sooner or later someone figures out there's a lot of people that want one.

I would get one so I can haul my motorcycle to the race track (for now I will be swapping the FR-S for my buddies 2012 silverado for the day)

I started a thread about towing with the FR-S too

Check this thread: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...?t=2680&page=4

No solution yet, but there is a bright spot in the potential for a hitch for the car...

I emailed curt hitches, because i live 2 hours away, also i am an avid biker. If they need my help im willing to drive there.

Where is this hitch going to attach? And why on earth do all you guys insist on using a 2 door coupe to take your bike out?!?! Can you even get to the trails with this car? lol hope you get your hitches soon!
