I have added a cutout of the linked installation instructions for the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DR64FR that fits your 2020 Jeep Gladiator which show that you do not have to drill to install the hitch on your Jeep. When putting this hitch on your Jeep you will use the existing factory bolts along with a pair of the supplied carriage bolts, nuts and washers. You only need to lift the hitch in place and secure it.

This will give your Gladiator a hitch with a hidden crosstube so your Jeep keeps its from-the-factory appearance. If you do not have the factory tow package and need trailer wiring, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118786 because it has the highest maximum amperage among harnesses available for your Gladiator, which means it offers you the best protection against potential shorts.
