The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class IV - 2" # C26HR will not be completely hidden, however the majority of it will be behind your bumper for a very clean look and with really good ground clearance. I've attached a video of this installation to assist.
Your truck came with trailer wiring, so let me know if you need further assistance with that.
For a ball mount, I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS10037B. This ball mount comes with both the 2 inch and 2-5/16 inch hitch ball options and is adjustable to tow multiple trailers level. When not in use, it also has a really nice stowable feature for a very clean look that will also protect your shins. I recommend using a locking pin like # e98882 to secure your ball mount or other accessories.
Let me know if you have further questions.
