Helpful Expert Reply:
For a hitch, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class III hitch, part # 75148. You'd also need a trailer wiring harness, part # 55571, a ball mount, part # C45010 and a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19260 or a 2 inch ball, part # 63845. The coupler on the trailer will have the necessary ball size stamped on it.
I've linked you to videos showing the hitch and the wiring harness being installed. As you can see, the install is pretty simple -it just might be something you could do yourself. If this isn't something you feel comfortable attempting, any competent mechanic could complete the install very quickly. If you'd care to reply with your zip code, I'd be happy to make a specific recommendation of installers in your area.
