The best hitch to carry the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 that you referenced is the EcoHitch part # 306-X7297 if you want the most concealed option as only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper or if you wanted a higher value setup the Draw Tite # 75742 would be the way to go. The crosstube and hitch opening of this are visible below the rear bumper which makes it a bit more visible.
