Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2020 Subaru Forester

Question:

Hello. Would you be able to recommend a trailer hitch for my 2020 Subaru Forester. I plan on really only using it for my bike rack. Maybe carrier down the line. No plans to actually tow. Which would be best? Thank you

For your 2020 Subaru Forester I highly recommend the EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7391 because of its unique hidden design that allows only the 2" receiver to be visible. This creates a really clean, factory-like appearance that looks great, especially on new vehicles like yours.

Unlike some other hidden-design hitches you might see on other vehicles, the receiver also isn't too hidden to the point of causing issues when trying to reach the hitch pin hole for securing accessories like your bike rack. The drop-down receiver is easily reached and it provides a 525 pound tongue weight capacity, more than enough for anything you would be attaching.

I have attached a couple images of the hitch installed on the 2020 Forester so you can see exactly how it will look, along with the full installation video that you can follow along with. I have also included a couple links that will take you to our full selection of bike racks and cargo carriers that you can look through if needed.
