If you are looking for a hitch that requires no drilling to mount, you will want the American made Curt # 13842. This will line up with the existing holes in the truck's frame and will be a quick and easy install. Though you will need to confirm the towing capacities of your truck, this hitch is rated up to 5,000 pounds towing and 500 pounds of tongue weight. This increases to 6,000 pounds and 600 pounds respectively when weight distribution is used.
The Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat # 118362 will be an equally easy install. This plugs directly into the wiring harness under the passenger side frame rails and can quickly be done while under the vehicle getting the hitch installed. I will say that I prefer a more permanent style mounted harness, so I do recommend using the Tow Ready Mounting Bracket # 18144 and # 18140 no drill bracket to attach the 4 Flat to the hitch. It isn't 100% necessary, but it is a much cleaner and secure way to do it.
