The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13409 is a better option to carry a cargo carrier (or other accessories like a bike rack) especially with a steep drive way because it provides about an inch more ground clearance compared to the Draw-Tite option part # 76271 when installed on the Subaru. It provides 4 inches from the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the bumper which will provide the adequate amount of clearance to fold up the cargo carrier if it folds. I have attached an installation video for your reference.
