Recommended Class III Hitch for a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek
Question:
I need a hitch for my 2023 Subaru Crosstrek. I will be mainly using it to haul my cargo carrier so I need it to have a 2" opening.

To add a hitch to your 2023 Subaru Crosstrek you will want the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13382. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Subaru with included hardware.
I really like this design because it has a hidden crosstube that installs behind the bumper cover and leaves only the 2" x 2" receiver visible.
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13382 is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity, and a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight. It weighs 32 lbs.
I have linked a couple pictures below along with an installation video to show you what this hitch looks like installed.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # 118467 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
