Trailer Hitch Fits for 2017 Subaru Forester Limited

Question:

My wife wants a hitch on her 2017 Forester Limited. We had a Hidden Hitchinch on her 2004 Forester and we liked the fact that is was nearly invisible. Do you have one?

We offer both 1-1/4-inch Class II and 2-inch Class III hitches for the 2017 Subaru Forester. All choices are displayed on the linked page. Hidden Hitch was a brand of hitch, now discontinued.

I suggest a 2-inch Class III hitch for its higher capacity and since this size gives you more options for accessory carriers like bike racks and cargo or scooter carriers. Since all hitches for the car will bolt on to the same points on the frame the position of the hitch cross tube and receiver will be essentially identical.

You can compare the appearance of the two hitch options, parts # 75876 and # C13144, using the photos on each hitch page. There is little difference but certainly you can choose one over the other if you prefer one's appearance. Installation will be the same for both. Installation videos for both are linked for you.

Please let me know if you are in need of bike or cargo carriers. If so, please tell me a bit about the bikes or cargo to be transported and I will be glad to help.
