There will be minor trimming of the rear fascia on your 2012 Jeep Patriot to install the Curt Hitch # C12057. You will basically cut a 2 inch by 2-1/2 inch hole in the lower rear fascia. Check out the installation instructions I attached that show this.
I also attached a picture that shows the dimensions of the hole that will need to be cut.
