Will Draw-Tite 76288 Class III Require Fascia Trimming to Install on 2022 BMW X5
Question:
I need a 2 inch hitch for my 2022 BMW X5, but it looks like the Draw-Tite # 76288 would require trimming the fascia under the bumper which doesn't thrill me. Is there an option that wouldn't require trimming?

Expert Reply:
As you can see in the linked install instructions, the Draw-Tite # 76288 would require trimming the underside of the bumper fascia. I've provided a photo showing the detail of exactly how the fascia is trimmed, as well as a photo showing what the hitch looks like when it's installed.
As you can see, the portion of the fascia that's trimmed is on the underside of the fascia, so it won't be easy to see from the rear of the vehicle.
