Hitch is installed. The drawtite one.

It needs a couple adjustement and cuts, do not do it yourself if you are not comfortable cutting and fitting. My instructions are not clear alone, but once you try to install it, you will understand.

1. You have to hammer the connector bracket otherwise the hitch will not seat.

2. You have to cut half of the little plastic triangle on top of the bumper-to-frame big plastic bracket, otherwise hitch will not seat.

3. You have to cut an opening on the bumper + aluminum sheet so the hitch will fit under the bumper cover, otherwise it sits on the hitch receiver and you will not be able to install it. THis kind of cut was also required on 2017+ as the diffuser went a bit lower than earlier models.

If you can cut plastic, hammer stuff and force a bumper off and on, I consider the install easy. If you can't stand cutting anything on your new car, find another solution.
