2024 Crosstrek Wilderness Hitch ideas/question

[Macnerd]

Hi Everyone,

New to the forum and just picked up my Crosstrek on NYE. I really want to put a hitch on for my MTB, but it looks like the factory and some of the after market hitches hang much lower than the ones on the Outback Wilderness. I would love for there to be a cutout in the bumper to keep the full clearance. Anyone have ideas on how to address this?

Thanks!!

I've been research hitches for my 23 OBW. From what I can tell, most of the installations require cutting a template in the rear bumper to accommodate the hitch. I'll post when I get mine installed.

What did you find out on this hitch installation?
I have a 24 Wilderness on order and will definitely need a hitch. I've installed a few myself from trailer.com, but not on a Subaru.
