No-Drill Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2009 Suzuki XL7
Question:
The ad states it is a bolt on system, no welding required. Are there pre-existing holes on the frame this system will match up to or will I have to drill holes to install it?

You are correct. The Curt trailer hitch # 13518 is a bolt-on installation and no drilling is required. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. You will see that there are bolt holes on the frame of your 2009 Suzuki XL7 where the hitch will attach. All of the hardware to attach the hitch is included.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin and clip, and a carrying bag. For trailer wiring, use # 119178KIT. I have included a link to the installation details for the wiring as well.
