The DaLan Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver with Drawbar, # 247360, has a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds and a gross trailer weight of 2,000 pounds. It will be able to easily handle a trailer weight only 350 pounds (35 pounds of tongue weight). I have included a link to the installation instructions below.

Since you will be towing a trailer, you will also need to get Upgraded Circuit Protected Taillight Converter Hardwire Kit with 4 Pole End (Includes Testers), # 119178KIT, for trailer lights. I have included a video that shows installation of this kit on a similar vehicle as well as how to test the taillight wires for function.

I also recommend a hitch ball like # 19258 (2 inch diameter) or # 19256 (1-7/8 inch diameter). You will probably also be interested in a Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, # e98879
