Helpful Expert Reply:
The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75876 is a fit for a 2016 Subaru Forester (All Models). In order to complete your towing setup, the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56040 is a great option with plug-n-play fit. In regards to the ball mount/hitch ball, the best option is the etrailer Ball Mount Kit part # 989900 because it comes with everything needed for multiple trailers. That said, the Curt Ball Mount part # C45010 and 2" Hitch Ball part # 63845 will work.
