What is the Best Hitch for a 2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Estrema?

Question

Question:

2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Estrema What hitch 2 to you recommend as the best option? Primary use will be for a bicycle rack. I prefer the Stealth rack but it appears that it may not fit the 2023 Stelvio model? Can you confirm that it will not fit the 2023 model? If it does fit or can be adapted to fit, do you have an installation video? If it wont fit, I am focused on the Draw Tight rather than the Curt due to the fact that the Curt appears to show the whole cross bar. Is installation of the Draw Tight easier than the Curt? Is there a Draw Tight installation video? Last question - Can you tell me what the differences are pros/cons between the hitches you carry for the 2023 Stelvio and the OEM Part #68379650AA? Thank you!

The best option for a hitch on your 2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Estrema is going to be the Draw-Tite item # 76199. The main crosstube mounts behind your Alfa's rear bumper cover leaving only the 2" receiver visible. This not only looks better but also offers superior ground clearance which is important when using a bike rack.

I checked with both Stealth Hitches and EcoHitch, there are no removable receiver hitches available for the 2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Estrema.

The Draw-Tite item # 76199 has a more difficult installation than the Curt item # C13391 but it is worth the extra effort and the cost is comparable. The Curt installs beneath your Alpha and attaches directly to the bottom of the frame which leaves the crosstube exposed beneath your bumper's trim. This not only affects your ground clearance but it's a pretty big eye sore.

I have linked installation videos for both hitches below. The videos are for older models but I took a look at the installation instructions and they are the same for your 2023.

We do not get technical information from dealers about OEM hitches. I took a look online and part 68379650AA looks identical to the Draw-Tite item # 76199 after installation. The cost is the only difference I can see because the receiver extends in the same place.
