Question:
somebody offered me a c13409 for my 2014 Forrester, but looking online it doesn’t look like it fits. Just wanted to check with you guys and see if it might work for me. Thanks!

Hey Daniel,
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13409 is not a fit for your 2014 Subaru Forester.
This same style is available to fit your '14 Forester as the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13144, but you might also be interested in the Curt # CU64FR because it has a hidden crosstube which not only looks better, but also promotes better ground clearance.
I've attached a photo showing the difference for your reference.
