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.

Hey Carlos, how did things go with the Draw-Tite hitch on your Corolla Cross after the install? It sounds like it becomes a solid part of the chassis once mounted. Sharing how it turned out could help others thinking about the same upgrade.
