My contact in Tech Services at Curt Manufacturing has confirmed that you will need to trim a 2-1/4 by 2-1/2 inch hole in the air dam under the front bumper cover to allow the receiver to pass through it.

This is shown in the photo I provided, which came from the install instructions which I have linked you to.
