Question:
I just bought a 2020 Subaru Forester and I need to install a hitch and wiring to tow my jetskis. What do you recommend?

We have just what you're looking for. I recommend using the Draw-Tite # 76271 since it would allow you the ability to use a weight distribution hitch if you were to decide to tow a different trailer that required a weight distribution hitch in the future. The Draw-Tite hitch is a stylish, round tube design with a 2" Class III receiver that easily bolts into the existing holes on your Forester's frame, so there won't be any drilling required.
For wiring I recommend using the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # HM11143865 since it has the highest amp capacity and the easiest installation of the harnesses available for your 2020 Subaru Forester. This wiring harness plugs into the existing wiring so there is no cutting into any wires.
I've linked some videos of the installation of the hitch and wiring for you to refer back to in the event that you're going to be installing these yourself.
