Expert Reply:
Hey Joseph, I really like the Curt hitch part # C47HR for your 2024 Subaru Forester Wilderness. Reason being it has a mostly hidden look which most really prefer. This would have plenty of towing capacity for a motorcycle trailer as well. You'll need trailer wiring too which for the Tekonsha part # 118467 is your best option.
Glad to have you back! What kind of bike do you have?
