Best hitch for your 2012 Subaru Forester is going to be the Draw Tite hitch part # 75650. It has the best capacities and best price. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

For trailer wiring you would want the part # 118467 which is a confirmed fit. We have the best luck with Tekonsha harnesses so this would be your best possible option. I attached an install video for this as well.

Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
