Lowering the exhaust to install a hitch like the Draw Tite part # 36660 on a 2018 Ford EcoSport is not difficult at all. It's actually almost a standard step for hitch installs it's required so frequently. It's typically just a matter of needing a pry tool like # ALL648544 and some spray lube to get the hangers off. You just need to pry the rubber isolators off of the hangers and you're set.
