Question How do you add trailer hitch to Bentayga?

Does anyone know what the process is to add a trailer hitch to a 2018 Bentayga and which parts are involved? I understand the car is "pre-wired" for a hitch, but I don't know what exactly that means. Is it just a matter of removing the rear bumper and bolting the new hitch assembly onto the frame and there's already a place under the bumper to plug it in? What about the spot where the ball comes through the rear bumper -- is that something you cut into the existing bumper for, or is there a replacement clip in part to create the opening? In addition to the hitch, is there also a new button switch that has to get installed and programmed on the wall of the cargo area where the current up/down air suspension buttons are?

Would definitely appreciate it if anyone knows what parts are required, what they cost, and roughly how many hours of labor is involved.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Bruce, but that only tells me the part. Also I emailed Scuderia and asked for a quote and they said it's not even available through them due to some supply issues from Bentley.

The GT as well as the Flying Spur shares a lot with the Phaeton and A8 D3. I wouldn't be surprised if a hitch for either could made to fit with minimal modifications. That's how I made a custom roof rack for my car, using Mont Blanc A8 LWB kit as a basis.

Possibly these are options. Disclaimer. I have never dealt with either company. Please do due diligence on the items and the companies before purchasing.

Thanks, but this is what I'm looking to install. It's pretty cool how it's electronic and hidden.
