For your 2022 Chevy Blazer I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13418. Depending on the model of your Chevy Blazer you could have a towing capacity of 1,500lbs to 4,500lbs so you'll definitely want to review your owner's manual to ensure you do not overload the capacity of your vehicle. This hitch has is a simple bolt-on installation with no drilling required. It comes with all hardware included and a gloss black powder coat finish over protective base coat that offers superior rust resistance.

To tow a trailer you'll also need a trailer wiring harness to send your stop and turn signals to the trailer. For this I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118720. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's factory tow package wiring harness, which is located behind the access cover at the center of your rear bumper.

Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket like # 18144 is recommended to keep the connector secure.

For a great starter ball mount kit I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 7,500lbs # 989900. It has a 1-7/8" hitch and 2" hitch ball to allow you to tow multiple trailers. It has a 1" or 3" rise and a 2" or 4" drop to keep your trailer level while towing.
