We carry two trailer hitches that fit your 2013 Subaru Impreza WRX STi; The EcoHitch # 306-X7279 and the Curt # C11317. The EcoHitch is a more difficult install but has a much better look that the Curt. A reputable shop shouldn't have an issue doing either one though. They likely handle much more complicated repairs than any trailer hitch.

The Curt is the heavier of the two, it weighs 36 pounds when packed up to ship. The EcoHitch is less at about 27 pounds for shipping.

I have a solution for you, however, it will require a new hitch receiver. Class 1 hitches, like the one you have, have a max tongue weight of 100-150 pounds. So you will not be able to use the actual hitch receiver to carry the amount of weight you…
