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!

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

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