X6 2015 hitch options

I've been reading posts but mostly about X5s.
Looking for feedback on X6 owners and their hitch options/install DIY.

I see these options:
Stealth hitch at $1,150 (combo rack and tow, harness)
Execuhitch at $863 (rack, tow, and harness)

Execuhitch seems the better option based on price.

I looked but did not find a DIY to remove the bumper. anyone have such instructions?

Thanks!

Just did this myself a couple weeks back. Good luck! Super straight forward.
