Expert Reply:

Trailer hitches are designed to fit specific vehicles. You will need one that was designed to mount to your 2016 Subaru Crosstrek. Hitch # 13018 will not work because it is designed for certain Mercedes vehicles.

For hitches you have some options. You can use a Class I hitch, # DT24959. A Class I trailer hitch will be limited to 2 bikes at most and the bike rack will need to be Class I compatible. If you need to carry more than 2 bikes you can install a Class III hitch, # 76084, which has a 2 inch receiver. This is the route I would go because it will afford you more bike rack options.

If you do not already have a bike rack you can look through our extensive collection which I have linked for you.
