Expert Reply:

I recommend installing the EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH39FR for your 2023 Tesla Model Y and here is why:

Both the Draw-Tite # DT58MR and the EcoHitch # EH39FR install behind the bumper and have a really clean appearance, but the main difference is that the Draw-Tite replaces your bumper beam while the EcoHitch sits lower and allows you to reinstall the bumper beam.

Normally I recommend going with the Draw-Tite brand because their installations are typically easier and at a lower price-point, but in this case I actually really like that EcoHitch reuses the bumper beam and I like the placement of their safety chain loops as well (it seems more accessible) so I recommend going with the EcoHitch.

Attached are some installation videos you can check out as well!
