Do I Have to Trim the Bumper to Install the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite on a 2025 Toyota RAV4?

Question:
Hi! Do you have a picture of the OEM hitch and this one installed? Or what is the height clearance of this one from the ground? And do I need to trim the bumper too? Thx.

Hey Mike. I have attached a couple pictures below that show the OEM hitch and the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite item # DT97YR installed.
The Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite item # DT97YR is custom fit for the 2025 Toyota RAV4. There's no cuts made into the bumper. It only requires trimming on the fascia beneath the vehicle. From the top of the receiver to the ground is 12-1/2".
What are you planning on using a hitch for?
