Expert Reply:

Hands down the best trailer hitch for your 2020 Subaru Ascent to use a hitch-mounted bike rack is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76253 because it offers a far superior amount of ground clearance and is a higher quality hitch than the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13400.

Due to how the Draw-Tite hitch installs, it is approximately 24 inches from the ground to the top of the receiver, which is an exceptional amount that assures your bike rack is going to be clear of any type of ground contact, keeping it safe from damage. The Draw-Tite also has plenty of room for bumper clearance, measuring about 2-1/2 inches from the hitch pin hole to the bumper, giving you your choice of bike racks to use.

I have added a couple of photos that customers sent in showing the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76253 installed on their Ascent and being used with bike racks so you can get an idea of how it will work for you. I have also added a link to a video install of this hitch on an Ascent as well as a link to our selection of bike racks if you are looking to add one.
