The best trailer hitch that fits your 2016 Toyota Tacoma is the Curt # C13264. It's a Class III, 2 inch hitch that bolts right onto the truck's frame. All of the necessary hardware is included.
If you're going to be towing with your truck you'll need wiring as well. The Curt T-Connector # C56349 wiring harness provides you with a 4-way trailer connector. It plugs into the truck's wiring behind both rear tail lights and then has a single wire ran to the battery. You can mount the connector under the truck's battery using # 18144.
You'll also need a ball mount and hitch ball. I've attached a link of our selection of ball mounts for a 2 inch hitch receiver as well as an article to help you determine the correct rise or drop you may need. Once you choose a ball mount you can then choose a hitch ball to fit it.
One way to make choosing a ball mount easier is to go with an adjustable ball mount like the B&W Tow & Stow # BWTS10038B. It features the ability to be flipped under the hitch when not using it and will provide up to 5-1/2 inches of rise or 5 inches of drop.
For a pin and clip to fit you can use # PC3 or if you'd like to have a locking pin you can use # BX8858.
I've also included links to some articles on towing that you might find helpful.
