It's a simple bolt on installation. The wiring is a plug and play type of thing.

One tip; Let the muffler cool off first, it's right up against the area where you have to work on the hitch bolts.

Thanks KK. You say plug and play... Where are the hitch receiver wires routed to once they're T'd in from the tail lamps? Probably only going to use it for a bike rack but definitely want the electrical availability

There's a hole in the body tub to drop the plug through and zip tie along the frame, then the hitch itself.
