I have a solution for you that doesn't require any trimming of the fascia, but the etrailer Custom Fit Hitch # e98908 will likely require some trimming of the fascia during installation. However, the Draw-Tite # 76031 sits a bit lower and does not require any trimming of that fascia during installation and would be my recommendation if you're not wanting to cut anything.

I've linked the installation video we did of this hitch for you to check out, and have also linked our entire selection of trailer hitch wiring harnesses and ball mount kits for your vehicle in case you're going to be towing with this hitch.
