For a 2023 Subaru Ascent the best trailer hitch for hauling a bike rack is going to be the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit # e55ZR. This hitch has a 2" receiver, which has the most versatility for use with other hitch related accessories. It's going to sit behind your bumper and can be completely hidden by the cover when not in use.

If your worried about your bikes possibly blocking your tail lights you'll also want to install the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56040 for a 4-pole connector. If your bike rack already has lights on it and a 4-pole connector you can plug it in to display your traffic signals or you can also pick up the Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights # C53201. These indicator lights can be attached to the rack to allow everyone behind you to clearly see your traffic signals.
