Do I need any fasteners to install this, or does it come with bolts?

Installation fasteners are not included with the hitch assembly. Use OEM bolts at the factory mounting points — these are the same fasteners your vehicle originally used. Check your service manual for torque specifications.

Will this hitch work with my existing ball mount and accessories?

This is a Class II receiver hitch with a standard 1.25-inch opening, so it's compatible with any aftermarket ball mount or cargo accessory rated for Class II. Your existing gear will fit directly.

Does this require any paint or surface prep before bolting on?

The hitch arrives ready to install as-is. If you want to protect the finish or match your vehicle color, light sanding and primer or paint can be applied before mounting — but it's not required for function or durability.
