Availability of Aftermarket Hitch for 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek that Passes Thru Knockout in Bumper
Curt and Draw-Tite are the only aftermarket hitch manufacturers we deal with that currently offer a hitch for your Crosstrek, and as you mention, the receiver tube actually sits below the bumper fascia instead of passing through that knock-out.

For trailer hitch # 90804 that you have purchased for your XC70, it has a capacity of 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 300 pounds tongue weight.

Recommendation for a 1-1/4 to 2 Inch Hitch Adapter to Fit Draw-Tite 1-1/4 Class I Hitch # 24769
The Draw-Tite Sport Hitch # 24769 you have is a Class I, therefore, the hitch adapter you need to convert your 1-1/4-inch to a 2-inch receiver is the Brophy Adapter # HTAD. The reason the box store hitch adapter would not work is because adapters are made for a specific class of hitch.

Trailer Hitch Recommendation to Tow a 3,000 Pound Pop Up Camper with a 2012 Cadillac SRX
The Hidden Hitch trailer hitch # 87573 has a gross trailer weight capacity of 4,000 pounds so it can more than handle the 3,000 pound gross weight of the trailer you plan on towing. However you will want to look at the vehicle owners manual to determine what the towing capacity of the vehicle is. Whatever is lower, that is the capacity you must go by.

The 2 bike limit is because the Class I trailer hitch cannot support the extra bike weight that far from the receiver. Many Yakima racks, even if they fit a 1-1/4 inch receiver, are not Class I compatible. However, if a 3-bike rack is Class I compatible

Can a 2 Inch Shank on a Cargo Carrier Fit a 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch on a 2009 Chevy Impala
The only way to use the 2 inch cargo carrier with a trailer hitch that has a 1-1/4 inch receiver is to use an adapter.
