Will 2" kayak trailer hitch work with Subaru Forester 2018 OEM 1 1/4" hitch?

Asked by GuruY1MNQ Mar 15, 2018 at 07:55 AM about the 2018 Subaru Forester 2.5i Limited

Question type: General

We are thinking of purchasing a 2018 Subaru Forester and having an OEM
trailer hitch installed at time of purchase. I've read that the OEM is a 1 1/4"
receiver hitch. We want to tow a Malone Auto Racks MicroSport Trailer
Kayak Transport Package with 4 Malone J-Pro2 Kayak Carriers which has a
2" hitch. Is this possible?
