Difference Between EcoHitch, Curt and Draw-Tite 2 Inch Hitches for 2020 Subaru Forester
Question:
I see you have Curt, Drawtite and Ecohitch 2" hitches. Which one is better for my 2020 Subaru Forester?
asked by: Joe
Expert Reply:
What sets the EcoHitch # 306-X7391 receiver apart from the other two options is that it's going to be completely hidden behind your bumper. The only portion that is visible is the 2 inch square receiver. So, if looks are important to you, this is the best option to retain the OEM look of your Forester. EcoHitches are made in the USA and are constructed of recycled aluminum, steel and stainless steel, making them slightly lighter and more eco-friendly.
The Curt # C13409 is assembled in the USA and Draw-Tite # 76271 is made in Mexico. Both of these hitches are going to be pretty much exactly the same in regard to how much they can tow and the way they look and install on your 2020 Subaru Forester. Both are made of steel and are fully visible once installed. All three hitches are rated higher than your Forester is able to tow so the different capacities aren't really a factor.
To complete your towing package, you may consider the following products:
# 118467 - Custom Trailer Wiring - Plugs directly into existing wiring - no cutting, splicing or tapping required.
# C45554 - Curt Towing Starter Kit - Includes ball mount with a pre-torqued hitch ball; hitch pin and clip; hitch receiver lock with keys; hitch cover; and a storage case.
