Some of the vehicles this hitch will fit require drilling and some will not. This hitch uses 4 bolts. On all trucks at least 2 of the holes are present and on some trucks all 4 are present.

At the most you would have to drill two 1/2 inch holes, but you can use the hitch as a template to assist the process. I spoke with one of my contacts at one of our hitch manufacturers an it appears the 2nd pair of holes started appearing in 2002, so you will most likely have to drill. I have added a link to the instructions below for you to review.
