Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2022 Subaru Forester
Question:
I have a 2022 Subaru Forester and I need a towing hitch. I see you have a few choices. Can you tell me which one would be the best? I would like it not to show as much if that is possible.

I would be happy to help you. The best hitch for your 2022 Subaru Forester is going to be the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C47HR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Subaru with included hardware.
I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper so the only part of the hitch that is visible is the 2" x 2" receiver. This gives you a higher ground clearance so you don't have to worry about bottoming out when going up or down step inclines. It also helps to conceal your receiver just below your rear bumper for a more subtle look.
I have linked an installation video below.
Since you are going to be towing with this hitch you will need a wiring harness item # 118467 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
