  • Photo of Trimming Required for Draw-Tite Hitch for 2021 GMC Acadia
  • The trimming of the underbody panel required on the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76023 for a 2021 GMC Acadia is very minor. I have attached a photo below. It is on the underside of the vehicle so it won't be noticeable. The panel is also removable so you can always replace it if needed like for leased vehicles. The best tool to use for trimming is a dremel but I understand not everyone has one so you can use some heavy duty shears or a razor knife.

  • Do Front Hitches for 2018 Ford E-450 Require Trimming Fascia
  • For your 2021 E-450 motorhome chassis the only front hitch that fits is the Draw Tite part # 65053 which does require fascia trimming. Due to the front bumper/fascia design of your vehicle if you didn't trim the fascia the hitch would hang really low. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Volkswagen Passat that Requires Minimal Fascia Trimming
  • For your 2018 Volkswagen Passat all of the hitches that fit the vehicle like the Draw Tite part # 24880 do require some rear bumper fascia trimming to install but it's not very much at all and it's not an area that you'll be able to see as it's quite a bit underneath the vehicle. I attached a picture that shows what portion gets trimmed as well as a picture that shows the hitch installed. I also attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

  • Is There Trimming Required to Install Front Hitch 65049 in a 2016 Ford F-250

  • 2 inch Hitch for 2020 Honda CR-V to Carry Bike Rack with Minimal Trimming
  • We have great hitch options for your 2020 Honda CR-V but all of them do require fascia trimming since the lower fascia of the vehicle wraps around the back of the vehicle to the underside of it. So a hole has to be trimmed for the hitch to fit where it would be needed. It looks like the Draw Tite hitch part # DT79MR has the smallest amount of trimming and has a 2 inch opening like you need so it would be your best option.

  • How Much Fascia Trimming is Required to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2015 Audi Q7
  • Since your 2015 Audi Q7 is leased the amount of trimming is not relevant because even a tiny bit will void the contract and end up costing you the price of a new rear fascia panel! There is a panel in the center of the rear bumper fascia that will need a little trimming (it varies from vehicle to vehicle) and the only way to know how much for sure to trim is to have the hitch installed. I have linked the instructions for you. The best way to avoid having to pay for a new panel is to use...

  • Is Fascia Trimming Required to Install Hitch on 2017 Volvo V60
  • Due to the lower fascia design of your 2017 Volvo V60 there isn't a way to install a hitch like the Curt # 13266 without trimming the rear fascia. This is very common on newer vehicles like yours. I attached a picture that I took from the install instructions that covers the trimming as well as a link to an install video that shows it as well.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan With No Bumper/Fascia Trimming
  • For your 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan the Curt Class II part # C12177 and the Curt Class III part # C13381 both do not require any fascia trimming for installation. The install is incredibly basic for a hitch. You just temporarily lower the exhaust hangers and then bolt the hitch up in place. The Class III hitch would be what I would go with as it has a 2 inch opening which is the more popular size and has more weight capacity.

The Draw-Tite would look almost identical once...

  • Draw-Tite Recommendation for a 2012 Toyota Sienna
  • You will need to trim or remove the appearance panel that covers the trunk panel to install this Draw-Tite # 75237 on your 2012 Toyota Sienna, but it will fit on your vehicle. The # 87586 (no longer available) is not completely hidden but it will be largely out of plain view. You will still be able to see the hitch opening but the cross tube and mounting brackets should not be too noticeable. I attached a picture of the area of the appearance panel that will need to be trimmed as well...
