I attached a picture of the Draw Tite hitch part # 65074 installed on a 2018 Toyota 4Runner that has the same front end/skid plate as what your Offroad Premium edition came with to show you it fits well. No skid plate removal or trimming would be needed.

Once installed, does it interfere with the removal of the skid plate to change the oil filter?

@Bill I looked more into this and it looks like the skid plate does need to get removed to install this front hitch and it would have to stay off. Do you have a TRD model?
