Totally Hidden Hitch for a 2015 Subaru Forester
Question:
I would like to get a hitch for my Forester to carry a bike rack. Any suggestions on getting a hidden versus visible hitch? Pictures of the different hitches on vehicles would be appreciated.

For your 2015 Subaru Forester I would recommend going with a hidden hitch like the EcoHitch part # 306-X7216 as only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper and the lower hitch opening is removable which means when not in use it's totally hidden. This looks the best and also helps with ground clearance.
To see difference between this hitch and one that is not hidden like the etrailer # e98839 I attached two pictures.
