I have a 2018 Toyota Tacoma that I need to install a hitch on to tow my camper, what should I get? Is the etrailer hitch a good pick?

For your 2018 Toyota Tacoma the etrailer.com hitch part # E98905 is a really great choice and what I recommend for you to tow your camper. It has plenty of capacity, is easy to install without requiring drilling, and come with a limited lifetime warranty.
For trailer wiring then we have the 7-way kit part # 22117 as a confirmed fit which will work great. It comes with everything needed to install.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer 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.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
