The Hidden Hitch brand has been discontinued because it was the same hitch as Draw-Tite with just a different sticker for years. Draw-Tite made both hitches as they bought out Hidden Hitch many years ago.
For the same hitch as 87562, you will want the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75162.
If you will be towing with this hitch, I also recommend the Etrailer.com ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
Finally, you will also want wiring harness # 118390. This will connect to your wiring behind the driver's side and passenger's side tail lights. This harness will draw power from your battery to protect your vehicle electronics.
