There is just a one difference between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches that fit your 2023 Subaru Crosstrek, which is the finish. The Curt has a glossier finish than the matte black finish of the etrailer hitch, so you can choose which you prefer. The hitches that fit your '23 Crosstrek are the following part numbers:

- etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98912

- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13382

The matte black finish is nice as it hides the inevitable dings, scuffs and scratches better than the glossy finish, but if you don't feel strongly either way about the finish, then just go with the best price. Otherwise, these are the exact same hitch with the same 3,500 lb towing/525 lb tongue weight capacities and bolt-on installation.
