The hidden/concealed trailer hitch I recommend for a 2020 Subaru Forester is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7391 which is actually the only option for this vehicle with a hidden/concealed design. The EcoHitch offers a complete bolt-on installation with no drilling or welding required. As stated, it has a hidden/concealed design which means the cross tube is not shown, only the required receiver tube which does not take away from the look of the vehicle and retains ground clearance because the receiver tube is tucked right under the bumper. I have attached an install video and photo for you below.
If you will be using the trailer hitch for a bike rack, the Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR is what I recommend because it can hold up to four bikes and it can be tilted back so you can still get into the rear hatch area with the bike rack attached. The arms also fold down while not in use.
