Expert Reply:

The hitch I would recommend for your 2021 Subaru Forester is the Curt part # C47HR because it is mostly hidden and has great towing capacities as well.

If you needed trailer wiring too the Tekonsha kit part # 118467 is the best option as well since it's mostly hidden and has a very reliable converter box.
