The hitch that I recommend for your 2021 Subaru Forester to use a bike rack is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13409. This hitch is made in the USA, has a bolt-on, no-drill installation and will provide you with a 2" receiver opening which is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers and ball mounts.
If you are needing a bike rack I recommend the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack # Y36FR. This rack is compatible with the hitch recommended above and will handle up to two bikes that weigh up to 66 lbs. each. It has an included ramp that stores behind the trays when not in use that will assist you in loading your bikes.
