Does the trim on the vehicle have to be cut/trimmed or is this an exact fit?

It bolted right into both a 2006 and a 1012 with no trimming. Had to enlarge the frame holes on the '06 to get the bolts in, but nothing beyond that. It does hang a bit lower than the factory mount that tucks right against the bumper skirt, but still leaves plenty of ground clearance.

There's a slight curve on the piece which brings it below the plastic bumper. I did not make any cuts.

For ford escape hybrid 2009, I did not need to trim or cut anything. It projects below the factory bumper so need to cut. No drilling either as suggested in some of the manufacturer messages. Only need to temporarily unhook exhaust but is easy to remove and replace. Have been using for a couple months and it works great. Solid.

No trimming or cutting of the trim/body is necessary on the 2012 XLT Escape; nor do I believe it's necessary to do any trimming/cutting on any of the model years this hitch is designed to fit.

I had to drill a bigger hold on the driver side of the frame to stick the pieces into but that was it. I used a hole saw that was about 1" or 1.25", I can't remember which. That was the only altering, and I didn't need to use the spacer on the passenger side, and it fit like a glove.

Exact fit. I did cut access holes from above to help locate and install the supplied hardware. If u follow my original instructions u will c how I did it. Really happy with the hitch.

On my 2012 Escape XLT, it was an exact fit and required no cutting except opening up one hole in the frame to fit a bolt through

It fit without any cutting or modification to my Escape. Not even holes, it used the stock holes already in the frame. The hitch dips below the bumper and around the spare tire. Solid.

It's custom. You cut your own mounting holes. So I would say yes it will fit

mine did. but you have to trim it to the correct depth due to universal fit applicatiion

I would think its going to fit the same- the only cut out is for the rear view mirror

It should be...you'll just have to make sure you cut it to fit...fyi you have to cut it anyway....so sorry answer...yes.

Yes. It will fit, but needs to be trimmed to fit the 2-door model. It is designed that way so there are lines to follow, not just guesswork.

Yes. Some reviewers said they needed to trim the top slightly, but mine fit perfectly.

i am not a dealer, I have one I installed, I would say 'yes' might have to put some trim , But I could say....

Yes the liners do fit very well with no modifications. Pay attention to the clip placement especially if you plan to add trim to the wheel well

This is a double din, but it runs a little large, so you will likely need to cut your trim kit (I had to cut mine). It is also a bit deep, so depending on your vehicle you may need to cut away some plastic in the back end of your car's head unit cavity (again, I had to do this with mine).

YES, you will need to trim off a couple of the tabs but it fits and looks great. >tc

Mine was a little snug trimmed a little off the top worked perfectly after. Very easy to do

On my 2013, yes I had to cut the liner...the instructions say to do so and there is a line on the mat to do it.

Mine fit perfectly and precisely as advertised. It is easier to install the right side if you take the wheels off because of the tight clearance with the tail pipe.

Its universal fit. It will fit any style vehichle. Simply trim to fit. I didnt trim any off of mine.

I'm not 100% sure but I think I had a draw tight on my jeep and had to cut it down. I cut approx 1/2 inch off it to get it to line up.

The hitch fit perfectly, but for clearance it requires that you trim a piece of plastic under the car that is not visible. A template for the trimming is provided and is a simple process.
