All the hardware necessary to install the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76034 comes with the hitch. The instructions that I have linked below list the following tools needed to install the hitch.
Safety Glasses
Ratchet
18mm, 19mm, 3/4", and 11/16" Sockets
Torque Wrench
Spray Lubricant or Soapy Water
6" Socket Extension
Pry Bar or Exhaust Removal Pliers
If you are going to be towing you will need the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118540 to give you a 4-way flat connector. And a etrailer Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches # 989900 for you to connect the trailer. This kit includes 2 different draw bars so that you can level the trailer and both a 2" and 1-7/8" ball.
