The answer to your question depends on the type of front bumper/vehicle style you have. For a complete setup you will need a base plate, tow bar, safety cables, wiring, and a supplemental braking system. More than likely you have the standard factory bumper with no winches or guards. If that is the case, I recommend the following parts for an economical setup:
-etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98949
-Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-525
-RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643
-Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM56200
-Brake Buddy Classic 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39494
You could save a little more by using magnetic towing lights # TL21RK instead of the Hopkins tail light wiring, but I think you will be happier using your vehicle lights. If you have a different front bumper/vehicle style please feel free to reach out and I will let you know which combination is the most economical.
