Calling all mtb-riding Forester owners for help!
I've got some older friends that love their Forester. It's got a (wimpy) 1.25" receiver hitch that they use to mount a two-bike hitch rack that has aged out.
After much interweb research, they decided to get a Rocky Mounts Monorail 2 hitch rack (which I own and love on my Explorer) but then learned that it was not recommended for that car because the exhaust pipes point directly at the plastic wheel chocks.
Anybody have any recommendations for a reasonably-priced alternative, keeping in mind that these are retirees that don't throw money around needlessly.
Thanks!
EDIT: The chosen rack must be sturdy enough for one 54 pound and one 44 pound e-bike.
