The hitch I recommend for your 2020 Subaru Forester is the EcoHitch part # 306-X7391 as it has great towing capacities, and has a hidden crosstube which allows it to look nicer and also give you better ground clearance.

Then for trailer wiring the Curt kit part # C56040 is the best option as its converter box has the highest amperage rating which allows it to be the most resistant to internal issues caused by trailer wiring shorts. I attached an install video for this for you to check out 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.
