Well, I had the dealer install the Subaru hitch yesterday (7/11). My big worry with the Ascent was how much it would squat with the fully loaded bike rack hanging off the back. Hopefully the image shows....
A decade ago I bought this bike rack (Yakima HoldUp with +2 extension) and had it for my Nissan Titan. I bought a 2011 Outback 3.6R afterwards hoping to replace the gas guzzler. Well, when this rack was on the Outback even with little kids bikes, the RallyArmor mudflaps would drag at times. Here, 2 29ers and 2 27.5 are mounted and the Ascent does not squat into a level of concern. Granted the rest of the vehicle is not loaded but that loading does not concern me as much as the big cantilevered bike rack.
