Hello again Peter. The Draw-Tite # DT76PR is similar to the OEM style hitch since the receiver can be concealed behind the removable bumper fascia plate. This hitch is rated for towing 5,000 lbs or 5000 lbs of tongue weight.

Hey Peter, did the Draw-Tite hitch end up giving you the OEM-style look you wanted on your Subaru? It’d be great to hear how the 5,000‑lb rating worked out for your setup. Your update could make it easier for others comparing hitch options.
