Trimming of the bumper itself is not required, but trimming of the lower fascia (underneath the vehicle) is for the installation on a 2022 Hyundai Palisade of the etrailer Hitch # e95ZR.

That hitch requires trimming of a 5-1/2" wide x 1-1/2" deep section for the hitch to fit. There is not technically any trimming required to install the other two hitches that fit your '22 Palisade, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13427.

That said, it is still likely you will have to make a small cut when installing either hitch so the receiver doesn't press up against the fascia too much. This was the case when we installed the Curt on a '22 Palisade and the etrailer hitch will be the same.
