Hitch took about 3 hours to install moving VERY slowly and reorganizing the garage at the same time. Didn't have to lift the car, just crawl under to remove the bumper and drill a hole. If you're good at removing the rear bumper, it shouldn't take you more than an hour. Only gotcha for me is that the curt hitches require a 11/16 drill bit to set a rivnut. I bought an 11/16 bit but didn't realize it was for a 1/2" chuck, whereas all my drill/drivers are 3/8th. Quick trip to a friend's to drill out the pre-marked hole and everything went smoothly.
