I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13264 because it will provide you with the highest towing capacity. It is a simple installation that bolts right up to the frame.
Please note that you do want to confirm the towing capacity of the vehicle first in your owner's manual before towing.
For a 7-way connector I recommend Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness w Brake Controller Adapter - 7 Way Trailer Connector part # 22117 which will plug into the tail lights and the other end of the adapter plugs into a Tekonsha brand compatible brake controller.
I recommend the Tekonsha P3 part # 90195 because you tow more than 1 trailer. The P3 features a setting that allows you to store trailer brake sensitivity/boost per trailer so you don't need to reset it each time you tow a different trailer. It also features a nice LCD display that gives you troubleshooting words that are easy to decipher instead of codes like other brake controllers. The adapter on the 7-way plug kit I recommended will plug into the back of the brake controller.
Since you will be towing different trailers, I recommend an adjustable ball mount B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount part # BWTS10048B which comes with 3 different sized balls 1-7/8" ball, 7,500 lbs with the 2" ball, or 2-5/16" ball. It also provides up to 5" of drop and 5-1/2" of rise.
