Most Hidden Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2020 Subaru Forester
Question:
I just purchased a 2020 Subaru Forester and I need to put a hitch on it. I'm looking for the most hidden hitch possible as I'm not a huge fan of the the looks, but I need the function. What is the least visible hitch for my vehicle?

I have the perfect solution for you; the EcoHitch Hidden Hitch # 306-X7391 is the hitch that installs with the least visibility and will provide you with a 2" receiver at the back of your 2020 Subaru Forester. This is the perfect choice if you want a hitch that only the receiver is visible once installed, compared to other hitches for your vehicle that leave the cross tube and receiver completely visible. The EcoHitch Hidden Hitch offers a no drill installation that bolts on behind the bumper of your wagon and will allow you to pull a small trailer when required.
Since you'll be towing a trailer, you'll also need a wiring harness to provide power to the trailer's lights, as well as a hitch ball and ball mount. For the wiring you can use the Hopkins Plug-In Simple # HM11143865 which is easily installed by plugging into your vehicle's existing wiring. To round out your towing package you can use the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900 which provides you with 2 ball mounts and 2 hitch balls. This is a good choice because it will allow you to cover a variety of towing setups with different rise/drops and coupler sizes. The etrailer kit also comes with 2 hitch pins, clips and a handy carrying bag so you don't have to worry about parts getting lost when they're not in use.
I've linked the installation videos of these products for you to have a look at, in case you're planning on installing these yourself, as well as a photo of what this hitch will look like installed.
