Question:

?I have a 2026 Subaru Forester Premium Hybrid. Can you confirm that both the etrailer e83ZR hitch and the Curt C13409 hitch will fit the Hybrid model. Is the only difference between the etrailer e83ZR and the Curt C13409 the matte vs glossy finish? They look to be the same construction and look to have the same install. Thx.

Hey Mark, I can confirm for you that both the etrailer hitch # e83ZR and the Curt # C13409 both are a fit for your 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid models and also the only difference is the finish. The etrailer hitch has a matte finish and the Curt has a glossy finish. The consensus seems to be that the matte hides itself a little better so that would be what I would recommend.

Are you planning on doing any towing?
