There are a few differences between the Draw Tite hitch part # 76084 and the Curt part # C13135 which are confirmed as a fit for your 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek. I recommend the Draw Tite though because if you were to ever carry a bike rack you wouldn't have to use a stabilizer strap like the Curt requires with non-supported loads like bike racks.

Aside from that the Draw Tite has a round cross tube and the Curt has a square. Some argue that the round is less visible.
