We have just what you need. There are two options with negligible cost difference. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C11115 that is confirmed to fit the 2006 Saturn Ion excluding Ion3 with 2.4L engine option. Or, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C11447 for the the 2006 Saturn Ion Red Line and Ion3 equipped with a 2.4L engine. Both have equal specs of being a Class 1 hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver, maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs. and max tongue weight of 200 lbs. Both are a bolt-on installation - no welding required and have hardware kit and installation instructions included.
For towing you will need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, # C56036. This T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring with no cutting, splicing or tapping required; it plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness located behind the tail lights. You will have to remove the tail light assemblies to access this harness.
You will also need a ball mount such as the Draw-Tite Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitches - 5/8" Rise - 9-3/4" Long - 2,000 lbs. item # 3591. The hitch pin is included. And a ball for the ball mount, ,either 1-7/8" or 2" depending on what size coupler is on the item you are towing. You can follow the below link for what is available depending on the size you need.
Please follow-up with me if you have any other questions.
