Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2" installed on a 2016 Land-Rover Range-Rover-Sport.

 

Work was done at Hitch City in Scarborough, ON, total cost including install and taxes was just under $495 CDN.  Photos below show how the trimming was cut on the lower plastic panels.  There were a couple of minor scratches from the install on the darker grey plastic part of the bumper that was definitely not there before the install.   I will be using it to hook up a swinging type 4 bike hanging hitch rack (likely Yakima Swingdaddy)

 

From etrailer.com's website, they list 2 choices for 2" hitches.  The Curt brand model's warranty requires you to add another supporting strap, whereas the Draw-Tite one doesn't.  Thus I went with the Draw-Tite model.
