2" Torklift/Ecohitch + 1up USA Bicycle Rack
I installed a 2" Ecohitch, coupled it with a 2" 1upUSA bicycle rack on my '14 BRZ premium and thought I'd share some pics. Hitch install was simple (see http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...8&postcount=13), and installing/removing/using/transporting the rack couldn't be easier (no assembly required).
I haven't driven anywhere yet, but all seems solid and sufficient. |

Why 2" instead of 1.25"?

We have the 1.25" ecohitch w/the Kuat Sherpa on my son's Impreza, and it always seemed a bit wobbly and flimsy. This full 2" system has a much better feel. That said, we've never had any actual problems with the other setup.

This is great. I normally bum rides off friends to the mountain bike trails but I am considering adding a hitch now.

@jubella2 - the EcoHitch is great. You may also want to note that DrawTite has bumper mounted hitch for $135: http://amzn.to/2j655EA
The bottom section isn't removable like the EcoHitch. In my book, that's actually a nice feature, as it's more theft-proof. |
