Judging by the short sleeves and the time of year the video for the # 118741 was made (appears to be spring time based on the install pic we took of the hitch that I attached), I would say most likely somewhere in the 70 degree range.
It may not be super convenient, but if you are in a cold climate you could wait to do the install till you have a warm day, or wait till after you drove the vehicle for a while with the heat on to warm up the interior panels so they'll flex a bit more.
