Default TRailer hitch on F Sport

Picked up my new 2015 F Sport a week ago and wondered about installing a trailer hitch.
I did a search and saw one post that you have to remove the lateral damper to install a hitch.

Is this correct? What are the consequences of removing the damper??
Thx
Jim

Look on Etrailer.com. They have a hitch specifically made for the f sport that has special holes for you to reattach the damper. Much cheaper than the one from Lexus and you can do it yourself.

Damper needs special bracket that comes with the Curt Hitch and stays on with the installation. Plenty of info on below link.
