It just gives you way more room to slide it up and over the exhaust and into place. If you end up doing it without detaching the exhaust let us know how it goes!
Just the video I was looking for. GF is getting this R Line model. Dealer showed a version where they had to cut the bumper. Since the bumper is an added feature on the R Line I really didn't want to cut it. Thanks for the info.
Wondering the same for the 2022. Would be nice to know if we can avoid needing to cut into the bumper. I like that this one avoids it and is pretty hidden.
Do you really need to detach the exhaust? Is that just to get it into place?

Nice video. Any issues with dragging the hitch when bikes are loaded ?
Not yet. I'm lowering it soon too so that will be the real test. I assume I'll have to be a bit more cautious with inclines once it is lowered.

Does this mess with the liftgate sensor?
Nope. Not at all.
Can I ask what model bike carrier you have?
Kuat Transfer V2 2-Bike Hitch Rack

I don't think this fits 2022 since it has a different rear bumper design

Fits on a '22! Did it this morning. Didn't have to cut the bumper, though you do have to remove a plastic shell that obstructs install
