Question:
What is different about the curt c25vr and the etrailer e55zr for my '22 Ascent? I like the hidden look but don't know which one to choose.

The difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch # C25VR and etrailer Trailer Hitch # e55ZR for your 2022 Subaru Ascent is that the Curt has the classic glossy black finish while the etrailer has a newer matte black finish. I personally like the matte black design better because it blends in better with the trim on your vehicle and does a better job at fighting damage from road debris than the glossy finish does.
If you were planning on using this for a bike rack then I recommend checking out the Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # BA22B. This is one of my favorite racks because it has a unique matte black finish (like the etrailer hitch does), easy-to-use features like the integrated locks and tilting/folding handle, and it also looks very sleek on any vehicle.
I've attached installation and review videos for you to check out.
