  1. Yes and I intalled one by myself with a little bit of help from from my 13 years old son. You need to remove the whole rear bumper and the stainless steel crash bar. The only problem I encountered was that 2 out of 13 M12 bolts did not fit due to improper machining of the L outsideside rail bolt holes. The bolts will only go in halfway. I solved that problem by adding several spacers rather than breaking the 2 bolts. Electrical connection is very easy unlike the older models when you have to remove the trunk floor. The Hitch hides inside the rear bumper so no one will trip walking close to the bumper in the dark. My Mercede ML 350's tow hitch ( I intalled that one by myself too) sticks out about 3 inches. It is dangerous to pedestrians and also ugly. Let me know if you have any more questions.
