Hey Isaiah, thanks for reaching out!

I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98912 2025 Subaru Crosstrek simply because it has a matte black finish that offers a better look and protection over the glossy black finish we see on the other hitches offered for your vehicle.

Aside from the finish, the only other differences you're really going to see are the weight ratings, but your vehicle is rated lower than pretty much all of them so the finish is the main differentiator.

I've put the etrailer hitch on a few of my vehicles and I've been really happy with it so far! I'm attaching a photo and video of this on a 2024 Crosstrek so you can get a good idea of what this will look like on your 2025 model.

Hey Isaiah, how did the etrailer hitch work out on your 2025 Crosstrek? Did the matte black finish look as good as you hoped? Your feedback could really help others choosing a hitch for the same vehicle.
