Hello T; the installation of the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch # EH64CR does not require drilling but it does require cutting. You will have to cut out a section from the bumper and exhaust panels, and part of the muffler shield.
The rest of the installation is just removing and installing bolts. I attached the cutting diagram below for your reference. EcoHitch doesn't host their instructions online but I can email you the full file if you want it.
What will you be using the hitch for?

Hey Robin, thanks for the response! This is helpful in assessing my skill level, tools, etc., especially the diagram you posted. I'm definitely hesitant about the cutting portion, especially without a video tutorial to follow. I would like to see the instructions, but tbh I'm hesitant about irreversibly modifying the vehicle. Re: What will I use the hitch for? Just a cargo hitch tray to increase our cargo volume ahead of a holiday road trip in our 2023 Outlander PHEV. It seems like the "bolt on only" option is only rated for 200 total lbs of tongue weight, while this one is 400 lbs. Was interested in the higher weight capacity in case we needed that in the future.. but I'm not 100% we'll use the full 400 lbs. If you guys have any "zero modification" receivers for the 2023 Outlander PHEV that have a higher rating than 200 lbs, I'd love to see it!
