I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75876 and it is confirmed to fit the 2018 Subaru Forester. It carries over from 2017.

There are other hitches, like the Curt # C13144, that have also carried over from 2017.

I'm not seeing a part number on the sticker shown in the photo, but if the hitch is part #C13409 it will fit a 2019-2021 Subaru Forester. The hitch part number might be located elsewhere on the hitch, and would be indicated by a 5 digit number…

I wish I could say it was but the confirmed Class III round tube trailer hitch from Curt that fits the 2017 Subaru Forester is the #C13144. The #13147 that you currently own fits 2009 - 2013 Subaru Forester All Models. There has since been a…

Answer 9

There was a big enough change between the 2018 and 2019 Subaru Foresters that new hitch fits had to be made for the vehicle so you would not be able to fit your old hitch to your new Forester and would have to go with a new hitch like the Draw Tite…

Answer 10

When installing the Curt Hitch Receiver #C13409 to your 2020 Forester that hole is enlarged so the grommet will not fit back in the hole. This does allow some dirt or debris inside the frame rail, which is standard on most vehicles. It is not a…
