Hey Leonard, thanks for reaching out!
The cutout you need to make for the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359 on your 2023 Chevy Bolt EV is actually pretty simple, and you can see it at the 11:12 minute mark in the attached video.
I would post a photo from the instructions that goes over this (they make it look really easy) but for whatever reason TorkLift doesn't like their instructions being "leaked" online. I'll send the instructions to you in a separate email though so you can see what I'm talking about.
What do you plan on using the hitch for?

Hey Leonard, did the instructions I sent help with the installation of the EcoHitch on your Bolt EV? I'm curious to know how it went because it could help others looking to do the same.
