That's a good question and the trailer hitch that has the best bumper clearance (and ground clearance!) for your 2021 Subaru Forester is from EcoHitch:
- EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7391
When we installed this hitch on a 2021 Forester we found that it was 3 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the rear bumper, and also measures about 13 inches from the ground to the bottom of the hitch, which is the best clearance.
The ground clearance will give your bike rack the best way to avoid contacting the ground, and with such a short distance from the bumper, you can utilize a really nice bike rack and still be able to fold it up, such as the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack # TH83JV or Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack # SH22G.
