If you have the 2 inch EcoHitch # 306-X7601, then the 2-1/2 inch from hitch pin hole to outermost bumper will have no issues when using the Yakima HoldUp EVO 2 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # Y02479 or 4 bike # Y02479-2. It will be very similar to the Crosstrek videos I've attached regarding clearance space for your reference.

If you have the 1-1/4 inch receiver # 306-X7267, you will have about the same clearances, but you would then need to use the Yakima HoldUp EVO 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" Hitches # Y02480.

You will have no problems with these combinations.
