Not without some modification but it can be done. I have linked a picture below that a customer sent in. It shows the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch item # C31076 installed on a 2022 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro. The customer stated the following:
To keep the OEM skid plate, you can remove the skid plate’s 2x front spacers and spacer washer locks. Removing this will allow you to fasten the front 2x M10 oem bolts. The 2x rear M10 bolts will need to be replaced with 2x smaller length M10 bolts that are at half the size of the oem bolts. My local hardware store had plenty of options.
