Will the Draw-Tite Class I Trailer Hitch # 24812 Fit the 2004 Toyota Matrix XRS

Question

Question:

Will this fit a 2004 Toyota Matrix XRS with rear facia? The facia on my car is different than that on the Pontiac Vibe shown in the pictures for this model hitch... Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
