Step 1: Match the gross trailer weight and tongue weight to the right hitch. Tesla’s tow package comes with NA 7-pin standard connector for electric/lights and takes advantage of its Tow Mode software so not at all an apples to apples comparison.

Then, insert the bolt into the mounting hole, head first (the hole may need to be enlarged with a die grinder first). I would obviously rather have Tesla do it but their tow hitches weren’t available with the delivery of my car. on Introduction, not worth it money wise at that point lucky here if a car is older then 25 it is exempt from smog test, Same here, I think :) When I had it...well, it was far from meeting that requirement at the time ;). Jacking up the vehicle is not necessary for most hitch installations -- even a car hitch installation -- but it does provide extra space underneath the vehicle to work. Hitch mounts that stick out like a trunk mount are mounted the exact same way as a trunk mount. This can make them easy to install but kind of awkward to use if you aren’t tall. The job was surprisingly simple. It was better than the Reese receiver shown in this Instructable, as it had extensions to suspend it from the bottom of the spare wheel well, and the kit had large, heavy duty fender washers for the carriage bolts inside the wheel well to distribute the stresses. I’m also concerned that the Model Y will set off rear alerts since I don’t have an official Tesla “tow mode” option. I towed a 4-5 ft trailer with roughly about 1500lbs of stuff across country through a blizzard and up the down the hills of denver. The Ram dealer wanted $550 to install a hitch receiver in my Ram 1500. Will installing a trailer hitch void my warranty? If your tow hitch installation requires you to feed bolts in through a hollow frame and you accidentally lose a bolt inside, getting it out can be extremely tedious.
