For a trailer hitch for your 2018 Subaru Forester the winner is the Draw Tite part # 76182. It has a 2 inch opening and a concealed crosstube (will be less visible) than the other options and is also priced great too. I attached an install video link for this hitch for you to check out as well.
Then for trailer wiring you'd want the # 118467 which is our most reliable and best option for your vehicle. It's a confirmed custom-fit too which means it's a quick plug and play install.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
