Good morning Keith.

No, there are no install issues with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver 2" # e97ZV on the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus hybrid. The install process is the same regardless if it's the hybrid.

No drilling is required, although some light trimming is necessary on the plastic underside piece. I've attached a photo to show this step. Don't worry, it won't be seen from the back of the vehicle so nobody will know you had to do that to install the hitch! This is the case for all hitches on this vehicle, and a lot of vehicles for that matter.

I've linked the install video which shows this being installed on a 2025 Lincoln Nautilus, which is the same exact process for your 2024. Let me know if you have any other questions! What do you plan to use the hitch for? If it's pulling a trailer, you'll also want a 4 way flat for trailer lights: # C58MJ. This is plug and play.
