You can't just bolt a hitch straight to your crossmember you'll rip it to bits ffs.

I may have got this wrong but.... I cant see and existing tow bar (onto the chassis) or electrics. Bolting a tow hitch straight onto the rear crossmember could be a big mistake. I think you need something like this... 202047 Dixon Bate adjustable dropplate kit - 110 - 1999 on
I will ask the audience...

I'm sure the MOD would disagree with you. As thats exactly where the nato pintle hitches are fastened. Albeit with a backing plate.
There's no reason why the OP can't fit his hitch to the cross member as long as he only wants to use it as a recovery point. and uses a suitable backing plate behind the cross member to absorb the strain.
No use for towing a normal car trailer or caravan though.
