Installed hitch in about 2-3 hrs between Friday night and Saturday morning. I would give it about a 8 on ease of installation with 1 being extremely hard and 10 being a walk in the park. You WILL have to cut some plastic behind the punch out plate in order to fit female end of hitch - I used a power single blade saw for this. (See pic) You WILL have to enlarge two metal holes on either side of your spare tire in order to feed hardware through frame to attach hitch to the bottom. I just used my drill with a small quarter sized grinding disc. Once the prep work is done you will need a 2nd person to help fish the 4 bolts/metal 1x2" plates and associated washers. You will also need this person to help position hitch in place when attaching said hardware. My smallish wife was more than able to assist in this installation. The bolt fisher is supplied as is all hardware. Directions are very easy to follow but there is one step they don't tell you about that should be included. There are two plastic supports that attach bumper to frame. They have plastic push caps that will need detached in order to get hitch into place. It's impossible not to see these when you are under vehicle. Very easy to remove/reattach. Other than that, very straight forward as you will see in some of the pics.
