Parts Needed To Tow a Trailer with a 2018 Subaru Forester Using EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch
Question:
Hello, Im interested in the Ecohitch for my 2018 Subaru Forester. If I purchase this, is it the complete kit, and all I would need is the ball? Thanks!

The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7216 is indeed a fit for a 2018 Subaru Forester and a great option. It can be used for hitch mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers or towing. That said, if you'll be towing then you will need a few other things like the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness part # HM11143865 and ball mount/hitch ball like the etrailer Ball Mount Kit part # 989900.
