Expert Reply:
To install Curt Trailer Hitch, # 13322, you will need to trim a rectangular area in the center rear fascia where the hitch receiver will be. It is a 3 inch tall by 6-1/2 inch wide area. I have included a link to the installation details that shows a diagram of the area that needs to be trimmed. The instructions also state that not all model years will require trimming and to check before installation. I have included a link below to an install video on a similar truck. If you find that you will need to perform some fascia trimming, you can use a rotary tool (Dremel) or tin snips/aviator shears.
