You can install the original hitch by yourself but it is heavy, I calculated around almost 40 lbs. You might want to prep the hole on the bumper where you can thread the tip of the hitch while pushing it up to install the screws. It would also help if you remove the spare tire to give you more space. My friend decided to get the Curt hitch and install is same as the original. The only difference is it is below the bumper. Good luck
