Question:
Hi etrailer, I am looking for a hitch for a 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid. Do you have a 2in hitch for this? thanks!

Hey Simon! I have two options for a hitch that will fit your 2026 Subaru Forester hybrid. The first is the etrailer # e83ZR. This is a standard Class III hitch with a 2" receiver and a bolt-on installation. It also features a matte black finish which gives it more of an OEM appearance.
The only downside to this hitch is the cross tube is visible, see the attached picture. If you would prefer a concealed cross tube for a nice clean look the Curt # C47HR is the better choice.
What do you plan on using the hitch for?

Hey Simon, did you decide between the standard hitch with the visible cross tube or the concealed one for your Subaru Forester? I’d love to hear what you went with, as it could help others make their choice too.
