The hitch that I recommend for your 2022 Subaru Crosstrek is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98912. This hitch is made in the USA, has a bolt-on, no-drill installation and will provide you with a 2" receiver which is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers and ball mounts.

If you plan to do any towing with your Crosstrek, you can pick up the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118467 and the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900 to round out a tow package.

Answer 5

The spacers that come with the etrailer hitch that fits your 2022 Subaru Crosstrek are designed to be used as a way to level the hitch as needed. So if using them causes your hitch to not sit level I would recommend removing them.
