Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2", part # e98912, will fit your 2022 your Subaru Crosstrek. It has a maximum tongue weight of 525 lbs and a maximum gross trailer weight of 3,500 lbs. If you want to tow a trailer, you will need a 4-way connector or a 7-way connector.

The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, part # 118467, is a custom fit wiring harness that is compatible with your 2022 Subaru Crosstrek. This wiring harness is a 4-way plug and play item. There is no need to splice any wires, it plugs directly into your existing wiring on your vehicle. Once this is installed you can tow a utility trailer. This 4-way connector will allow your trailer to mirror the tow vehicles brake lights, turn signals, and running lights.

If you need to tow a trailer with electric brakes, you will need the 7-way connector. The Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat - 10 Gauge Wires, part # ETBC7, is my recommended wiring kit for electric brakes.
