I bought a hitch for my Patriot but man there's no way I'd be able to install on on the ground. My time is valuable. I better find someone.

Why can't you install a hitch that doesn't require damaging the vehicles stock bumper

[@aaronlimon4803]

All aftermarket hitches we offer require the bumper to be trimmed for the hitch to fit. If it didn't, the receiver would not have much clearance from the ground.
