Comparing EcoHitch and Draw-Tite Hitch for a 2013 Subaru Impreza Wagon
Question:
I am looking for the best hitch to install on my 2013 Subaru wagon 2.0i premium that would make compatible with the Kuat Sherpa 2.0. I had my eye on the ecohitch, which would give me better towing capacity if I wanted to use the hitch for that purpose and provide better ground clearance, or the draw-tite sportframe. Keeping weight is very important to me as well as ease of use. I would also like maximum ground clearance but am getting my vehicle lifted for better compatibility. Thank you!

The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT24959 (25 Lbs) and EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7211 (30 Lbs) are both great options for a 2013 Subaru Impreza Wagon. I recommend the EcoHitch because it has the best look once installed, offers the best ground clearance, and allows for use with the most amount of hitch mounted accessories. The only advantage of the Draw-Tite is ease of installation and weight savings (minor).
The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack part # SH22B for 2" or part # SH12B for 1-1/4" would both work well with their respective hitches.
