Does Rear Fascia of 2018 Subaru Forester Need to be Trimmed to Install Hitch

Question:

I have a 2018 Subaru Forester. Will you please confirm that hitch #E-98839 will fit without trimming / cutting / altering car body bottom rear facia in any way? Just want to be positive before I place order. Would like to order today.

The rear fascia of your 2018 Subaru Forester does not get modified to install the etrailer hitch # e98839 that you referenced. The heat shield does get removed and access holes may need to be slightly modified but there is no drilling required.

I attached an install video link for this for you to check out as well.
