Anyone have measurements/CAD File for the rear frame rails of the 4th gens? Mainly looking for dimensions and bolt hole locations for the trailer hitch. Any help would be appreciated.

I'd appreciate it if you could. Mainly looking for the measurements of the holes where they're located on the rear frame in relation to the end and distance between them. I think instead of going with a "C-Rail" style attachment like I originally was thinking I may go with a more traditional mounting method like the trailer hitch and make L-shaped brackets for the tire carrier.
It's just a royal pain to pull all the rear bumper paneling and trailer hitch to get the numbers these days, so if someone has they laying about that'd be great! I have the measurements for the frame in the back from a while back if I remember right, but I neglected to take the trailer hitch mount bolts into account.
My buddy just installed Fusion 360 on my computer and I should get off my lazy ass and remember how to go about using CAD software (it's been a while).

That'll help some, but they don't dimension a lot of the frame exactly (i.e. the multi-angled section in the back and the bolt holes) as that's mainly for a body shop to check the frame for straightness and such. But I appreciate you digging those up, they're out of the body repair guide which I have access to on TIS.
I'm admittedly being a bit lazy and hoping someone had mocked up the rear frame in CAD so I can just build stuff off of it in Fusion, but I figured it was a slim change anyways.

There are 2 bolt holes in the bottom of the frame rail I didn't measure, but can.
I am getting 20 5/8" for the outside frame rail to outside bolt hole (center of hole), both sides.
Pic for the receiver bolt holes.
Your probably just going to have to rip the plastic off at some point.
Staring at a coverless rear might motivate.
