Between the Draw Tite hitch part # 76182 and the Curt # C13144 that both fit your 2018 Subaru Forester I recommend the Draw Tite # 76182 because once installed this hitch only has the opening hanging below the rear bumper so it will give you a much more hidden look. I attached a picture that shows the two hitches installed to show you what I mean.

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
