Expert Reply:
The area that needs to be trimmed in order to install Curt trailer hitch # C12228 on a 2009 Toyota Matrix XRS will not be visible unless the trailer hitch gets removed. A small area will need to be trimmed to make space for the receiver. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.
If you plan on doing some towing the correct ball mount is # C45521 and you will need pin and clip # PC2. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. For trailer wiring use # 118460.
