I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2", # e98865. This trailer hitch receiver is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and has a nice clean look that isn't very exposed.

If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need the following to complete your towing system:

Trailer wiring harness, part # 118494
Ball mount, part # D-4
Trailer ball, # 19260 for 1-7/8 or # 63845 for 2 inch
Hitch pin # PC3
Locking hitch pin # e98882
