Hey Jim,

You are right that both of those hitches, # C13382 and # C22MJ, fit a 2025 Crosstrek. Capacity wise these hitches are rated for the same 3,500lb capacity. The main difference comes down to the trim of the vehicle. The # C22MJ is not intended for the wilderness trim of Crosstrek, while the other hitch # C13382 will work on a wilderness trim. Otherwise they are the same type of hitch. I am not sure why they have a change, but one fits the wilderness trim, one does not. If you don't have a wilderness trim you could go with either and it will fit.

What are you looking to use this hitch for?

I will only be using the hitch to attach a bike carrier. Don’t have the Wilderness. Possibly the tube is tucked up under a bit to try and hide it for that model since the bumper is shorter to provide a better approach angle. Thank you for the info!

@Jim Of course Jim! Either one will work great for you then. Do you mainly road bike or do you get out and hit the trails?

@Jim That is awesome, either one of these hitches will work great for you. You'll have to let me know how the install goes.

I had the same question and I found a post mentioning that the newer C22MJ (13633) is designed to be raised higher than the previous C13382 to better match the newer bumper style on the 2024 and 2025 Crosstreks. I was wondering if you have any information on this yet. It would be great because from watching the install video's there seems to be noticeably more bar visible and a larger gap between the hitch and the bumper on pictures/install video's for 24/25 Crosstreks than the earlier ones. Thanks for any help!

@Brent Correct, the Curt 13633 does have a raised receiver tube for the newer bumper design of those new model Crosstreks. While the older C13382 is going to be that original design hitch.
