The main difference between these three hitches is going to be the looks and install time.
EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 306-X7391.
Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13409.
Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76271.
All three have a max tongue weight of 525 pounds and a max trailer weight of 3,500 pounds.
The EcoHitch is going to be the hardest install at take around two hours.
The Curt and Draw-tite will both take about an hour to install and will not be as labor intensive.
I would go with the Draw-Tite. It has the same capacities but I feel it is a sturdier model and will last.

Hi David, Would you also recommend the Draw-Tite hitch for a 2025 Forester? I was considering the Ecohitch as it is the closest design to the Subaru part. Thanks, Glenn

Wrong. The Curt has a tongue weight of 350.. it literally says it under the picture. Why is the who hitch more expensive than the curt? Bc the max tongue weight is more?
