We have installation instructions online, see link, for the Curt Class II Trailer Hitch, item # C12253. Installation will require disconnecting rear fascia tabs, fishwiring fasteners into the frame rail, applying Galvanic isolator shields to the blocks and hitch tabs that contact the aluminum bumper, raising hitch into position, and attaching to forward fasteners, drilling two 7/16 inch holes, fishwiring bolts to rear holes, tightening hardware to specific torque recommendations and reattaching the lower fascia tabs.

You may also need to trim a small area of the lower fascia panel depending on the configuration of your 2002 vehicle. This area will not be visible once the hitch is installed.

Some items you may need to complete your Class II towing setup are listed below.
