Hey Hugo, I'm happy to make you a list.
Your vehicle (2026 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness Edition) has a max towing capacity of 3,500lbs and a maximum tongue capacity of 350lbs. Even if the hitches below exceed that amount, you're still confined to the limits of the vehicle itself.
Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C54GJ This hitch is intended for use on the Crosstrek Wilderness model. Gives you a towing capacity of 3,500lbs which aligns with your vehicles max tow capacity. You're supplied with a 525lb max tongue weight which will give you the ability to use all 350lbs of your vehicles max tongue weight to use a heavy bike rack with e-bikes or a fully loaded cargo carrier.
TowSmart Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # TS68ZR This hitch is going to be stronger than the one above giving you more towing capacity than you can handle at 4,500lbs (compared to your vehicles max towing capacity of 3,500lbs) and a max tongue weight of 675lbs allowing for the same 350lb limit set by your vehicle. On your specific model (Wilderness) the hitch cross tube will be visible underneath the bumper.
EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # EH57CR The EcoHitch is completely hidden from view when the receiver is removed (picture below). You're provided with a 3,500lb tow rating and a 525lb tongue capacity so you can still get the most out of your vehicles towing and carrying capabilities.
I would recommend the Curt # C54GJ for you specifically. The install on this hitch will be the simplest.
What are you looking to accomplish with your new hitch? Some more information would help me to narrow down this list to find the right one for you.
