Question:

I have a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid and I am needing a hitch with a 2" receiver for my bike rack. Which one do you recommend all I see are ones that say excluding hybrid?

To add a hitch to your 2023 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid, I recommend the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7365. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Subaru with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 525 lbs tongue weight capacity, which will be more than enough to handle your bike and bike rack.

I really like this hitch because the crossbar is completely concealed behind the rear bumper and the 2" receiver is all that is visible while you are using it. This not only gives you a better appearance but also helps with ground clearance. When you are not using the receiver you can remove it completely and you won't be able to tell you've installed a hitch.

I have linked an installation video below along with a couple of pictures so you can see what this hitch looks like installed.
