Hello, We have the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13113. It requires no drilling but you will need to temporarily lower the exhaust to properly and completely install the hitch. This Curt hitch is also rated for use with a weight distribution system.
If this will be for towing a trailer you will need a wiring harness like the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56039. This will power the trailers lights and keep you safe and legal. And a Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches - 2" Ball - 2" Rise, 4" Drop - 7.5K # C45554 to connect you to your trailer.
I will link videos below.
