i don't, it's called a hard dog hidden hitch. Took me just under 3hours to install with an 8yo passing me the nuts and bolts for assembly. All the rear trim is pulled off along with the bumper and it bolts on under the bumper, no trimming of anything required. Sits about 1/2" below the trim. I did have a different rack on there that came out and up giving a lot more clearance going up and down ramps or steep driveways but didn't feel it was sturdy enough to year down the highway at 70 with 10k worth of bikes. So far this sits close enough to not be a problem but I haven't tried leaving the Kissena velodrome with it, my minivan's rack scrapes there unless leaving at an angle and making a turn, trying to leave straight is just one long scrape.
