The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer hitch part # 76227 requires removing the foam bumper support temporarily for installation. The video does show the installer cutting the plastic fascia and then replacing the foam bumper support that comes with the bumper to re-install the fascia.

The foam support does not come with the hitch once you go to install the hitch you will see the foam piece already on the bumper from the manufacturer. I have attached a photo from the installation instructions for your reference.
