For your 2022 Subaru Crosstrek I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98912. This trailer hitch receiver has a maximum gross trailer weight (GTW) capacity of 3,500lbs and maximum tongue weight (TW) capacity of 525lbs. Note: this does not increase the GTW and TW of your vehicle. Please refer to your owner's manual and follow whichever is the lowest rated GTW and TW capacity.

The sturdy steel construction of this hitch is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

For a 4-pole trailer wiring harness to power your trailer's lights I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118467. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located in your rear cargo area, either behind the driver's-side trim panel or in the spare tire compartment. You will need to remove some interior paneling to access this harness. Once you've plugged in the connector, insert the provided fuse into the in-line fuse holder.

You can use the Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144 to mount your 4-pole connector to your trailer hitch so that it doesn't hang down loose.

If you need a ball mount kit I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 7,500lbs # 989900. It's a great starter kit with a 1-7/8" hitch ball and 2" hitch ball. The shanks will provide a drop of 2" or 4" and a rise of 1" or 3" to keep your trailer level while towing.

It is true that we looked into if the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek was different from the 2022 and we found the model was unchanged so the Curt hitch part #C13382 will fit and work great. We are in the process of updating our fits so it will be listed soon.…
