The comments you noted are simply related to the fact that this rack and lock can fit two sizes of hitch receiver (1-1/4-inch and 2-inch) and when used on the smaller size there will be some portion of the hitch pin that remains visible.

- The TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y33TR that fit your 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek do not come with any hardware, just a torque wrench.

I've linked a review video of this kit for you to check out and see if it meets your needs.

- You don't mention whether you already have a trailer hitch, so we'll begin there. I'd recommend a Class III hitch, because if you also wanted to use the hitch for accessories like a bike rack or a cargo carrying tray, you'll have greater capacity and many more possible options.
I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13135. The hitch includes all necessary installation hardware. You'll also need a ball mount and trailer ball. For the ball mount, I'd recommend part # 2753 and #...
