Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid
Question:
I have a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid and I am needing a hitch with a 2" receiver. Is there one available? I will be using it for a bike rack but also want one that can be used for towing.

Yes, there is a hitch available for your 2023 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid. It is the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7365. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Subaru with included hardware.
I really like this hitch because the crosstube is hidden behind the rear bumper and the 2" receiver is removable. The crosstube being concealed behind the bumper not only makes for a better look but it also helps with ground clearance. With the 2" receiver removed you won't be able to tell your car has a hitch.
This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity, and a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight. So it has plenty of capacity to handle a bike rack and tow a trailer.
I have linked an installation video below.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a ball mount kit item # C45534.
