Question:
Is there a document or info that would indicate the distance from the hitchpin hole for the two class 3 hitches for the subaru forester. Trying to sort this out for a bike rack purchase. Thanks

The two Class III trailer hitch receivers that fit your 2017 Subaru Forester are Curt # C13144 and Draw-Tite # 75876
The hitch pin hole to the end of the receiver tube measures 2-1/2 inches on both of the hitch receivers.
However, when installed the Draw-Tite's hitch pin hole will be about 5 inches behind the outermost point on bumper and the Curt is about 4-1/2 inches. So the Curt sits a little more under the bumper than the Draw-Tite does.
