Hello Carlos, thanks for reaching out. The Draw-Tite Class 3 Hitch # DT28GR is the correct fit for your 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross. Installation requires permanent removal of the impact structure behind the bumper. The hitch goes in place of the impact structure and takes over its functionality. So the hitch basically is now a permanent part of the chassis.
