Yes, it is possible, with certain exceptions. The Tow Ready adapter # 80303 should help you in most instances. The hitch I recommend is the Draw-Tite # 24812 Class II.

Please bear in mind, even if you adapt a 1-1/4" tube to fit 2" accessories, there are still limitations that will apply. Using the adapter will reduce the weight capacity of the hitch by 50% in terms of both tongue weight and gross trailer weight. In this instance, the Class II hitch that fits your Vibe will be limited to 100 pounds of tongue weight and 1000 pounds gross trailer weight. As long as your trailer accessories fit these parameters, you're good to go.
