Availability of Hidden Hitch for 2019 Subaru Forester

Question:

I am not too keen on pulling the rear bumper fascia and trim off my brand new 2019 Forester. With all the plastic clips at least one or two will be broken in the process. When do you expect to have a Ecohitch frame mount hitch for the 2019 that does not require all the external panel removal? Will you have a stealthfoot and/or completely hidden version?

We normally don't get multiple hitch fits for vehicles by the same manufacturer. Right now EcoHitch has the part # 306-X7391 that you referenced which is mostly hidden with only the hitch hanging down below the rear bumper, but it does require some fascia trimming. The other option you'd have is the Draw Tite part # 76271 which does not require trimming, but does require fascia removal and reinstallation. I attached an install video for this for more info as well.
