Hey Jean, the only hitches we offer for your 2023 Subaru WRX are ones that hang below the rear bumper like the Draw Tite part # 76271. The EcoHitch you mentioned only fits older models of the WRX. What are you wanting to use the hitch for?

Oh bummer. It’s mostly for my mountain bike rack but also wanted for ground clearance and larger hitch to pull a small trailer.

@Jean Yeah I year ya. I wish we had something more like the hitch you referenced but for that style is actually pretty rare so I am not totally shocked there isn't a fit like it for your vehicle.

@JamesonC So the hitch you sell for the 2020 wrx can’t be made to work with the 2023? I have some pretty creative engineers that can help if some tweaking involved for a modification if not too different from the 2020 set up? Thanks for you expertise here.

@Jean There isn't a way to adapt the 2020 hitch for the 2023. Now if you have the right people to come up with a way to make it work I am sure there's a way if you are determined enough. But that's as far as we can really say since it would take an unknown amount of fabrication.
