For your 2020 Subaru Forester I highly recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7391 because of its uniquely sleek appearance. Unlike the other options available for your Forester, the EcoHitch features a completely hidden crosstube so that only the 2" receiver is visible below the rear bumper. This allows for a really clean appearance that looks like the hitch came included from the factory. It also helps with improving ground clearance compared to other options.

I have attached a couple images of this hitch installed so you can see exactly how it will look on your brand new Forester.

In addition to its appearance, the hitch features a really durable but lightweight alloy construction and it's made right here in the USA. It has a towing weight capacity of 3,500 pounds and a tongue weight limit of 525 pounds.
