Xtony is on a distinguished road
Removing it is not that hard. Cut a couple of plastic rivets in the wheel well. Remove bumper reflectors and loosen bolts behind them. Yank bumper cover hard. Disconnect wires to sensors in bumper. Unbolt four or eight bolts holding the hitch to the frame. Remove hitch and reattach bolts. Replace bumper cover. Done. The hardest part is replacing the rivets that you cut off. May need a special tool for that, but the cover will stay put without them for a while.
