When it comes to installing a trailer hitch on your 2019 Subaru Forester I recommend The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2 inch # C13409 which is confirmed to fit your vehicle.

The trailer hitch has a bolt-on installation with no welding required, and has a gloss black powder coat finish which is over a protective base coat that offers superior rust resistance. The trailer hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight up to 3,500 pounds and has a maximum tongue weight up to 525 pounds. I would recommend checking your vehicle's manual to double check the proper towing capacity of your vehicle.

When it comes to hauling your scooter I recommend The 32x48 Reese Steel Solo Cargo Carrier and Folding Ramp for 2 inch Hitches - 400 pounds # PS10401-10402.

Using this carrier can haul all your heavy, wheeled products, such as wheelchairs, lawnmowers and snow blowers with this hitch-mounted cargo carrier. It has a 48 inch long folding ramp which makes it easier to load up the scooter. The carrier has a rugged steel construction that is corrosion-resistant because of its black powder coat finish. The carrier can carry up to 400 pounds, which will work perfect with the trailer hitch above.

I attached an installation video link below.
