Hi Matthew; EcoHitch specifically states the factory active air dam will need to be removed for installation of the # EH89CR. If you want to install this hitch on your 2022 Tundra you will have to part with the air dam.

Hey Matthew, did you end up removing the active air dam to mount the EcoHitch on your Tundra? Knowing how that process went could help others with the same setup.
