Anyone know if the hitch cover for the 07 is removable when you want to tow a trailer or is it a permanent cover?

e

it is removeable. there are two twist tabs at the bottom and two hook type clips at the top. Once you remove the lower tabs, you slide the cover to the right and she pulls off. The kit comes with the mounting plate, tabs, and template. Takes about 5minutes to install. does require drilling.

I had the same concern. No to worry (e) is correct. I am glad I got mine.

Oh man, I don't think I like the drilling part. Not because I'll mess it up. I just have a bad feeling that I need to drill threw the bumper cover? And I don't want to do that.

yes you have to drill three holes into the cover. Just be careful, your drill can get real close to the paint. Also I've heard that someone drilled into their back-up sensor wires. As always check behind the cover before drilling. Put the Butt Cover On !!!!!!

Do you drill into the OEM bumper cover? I don't mean hitch cover.

Yes. But its just the cover and nothing metal. Its also in a place that if you ever remove the cover permanently you will never see the holes unless you are laying on the ground underneath your rear bumper and looking towards the sky. Just be sure to line up the template or bracket correctly (Make sure it follows the contour of the bumper cover edge).

I think I see what your saying now? So if I remove the hitch cover you would never know there were holes there when standing on your feet and looking straight at the bumper cover/hitch area from a few feet away. I think I get this cover if that's the case. Thanks

thats right, you might see the bracket but its really hard to see as well. Well at least mine is, being the bracket is black as is my vehicle
