Expert Reply:

I've provided a photo of the etrailer # e98912 Class III hitch installed on a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. There were no appreciable changes to the rear of the Crosstrek for the 2020 model year, so the hitch would appear the same as shown on the 2019. The hitch is a concealed design, with only the receiver tube and safety chain hoops visible. Many find this preferable to something like the Draw-Tite Class III, part # 76209 which would be completely visible. I've provided a photo showing how both hitches appear once installed. If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness, part # C56040, a ball mount part # 2753 a trailer ball. For a 2 inch ball, go with # 63845 or # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.

I've linked you to some installation videos that you might find helpful.
