Helpful Expert Reply:

Hitch size should not affect the warranty of your 2019 Subaru Forester. So if you wanted a 2 inch hitch like the mostly hidden Curt part # C47HR you'd be fine to install it.

When you install an aftermarket part on your vehicle like a trailer hitch in this case, you are protected by the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. This act states, in part, that unless the installation and the part caused a problem then the warranty cannot be voided. I recommend looking it up online.
