Expert Reply:
For a hitch to carry your back rack on your 2022 Subaru Ascent I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e55ZR. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver and is completely hidden with the bumper panel in place. Since it sits behind the bumper you will have more clearance for your rack when compared to a hitch that installs below the frame.
It has a maximum tongue weight of 750 lbs to handle your bike racks. This hitch features a matte black powder coat finish, giving it more of an OEM look. This also helps hide dirt and scratches when compared to a glossy finish. The # e55ZR is made in the USA.
