For this vehicle, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24962 which installs at the same location as the Curt hitch # C11490 which is a fit for this vehicle. This hitch install requires the removal of the bumper/fascia to install the hitch prior to reinstalling the bumper/fascia. I have attached an install video for you.
To carry an unsupported load like a bike rack or hitch cargo carrier Curt hitch requiring a stability strap # 18050 for any accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier.
If you will be doing light towing with this hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite ball mount # 3593 and hitch ball # 19256 for 1-7/8 inch or # 19258.
For a wiring harness, I recommend the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector
Item # C59236. This kit includes a power wire to run a hot lead to your battery that will protect your factory electrical system from overload. I've attached a video of this install on a Prius for reference and have attached an article on routing the power wire to assist.
