Concealed vs. Completely Hidden Trailer Hitch for 2021 Subaru Crosstrek
Question:
I see there is an option for a completely hidden hitch for my 2021 Subaru Crosstrek, the EcoHitch, and a concealed crosstube. Is the only difference, apart from the recycled materials the EcoHitch is made from, the fact the EcoHitch has a removable receiver? Is that what makes it completely hidden?

Expert Reply:
You are on the money with the differences between the trailer hitch receivers that fit your 2021 Subaru Crosstrek in regards to completely hidden vs. concealed crosstube.
The completely hidden option - the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7365 - simply has receiver that you can remove, which means that it will be exactly like you don't have a hitch on at all if you aren't using it.
The concealed crosstube options - the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13382 and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98912 - will have the receiver showing, but that's all.
So really, it comes down to how important it is to you that your '21 Crosstrek keeps it's original aesthetic at all times; if it is vital for you, go with the EcoHitch # 306-X7365. Otherwise, you can spend less and still get a great hitch with just a small part showing by going with the Curt # C13382 or etrailer # e98912.
