Two sizes and weight classes of hitch are offered for your 2008 Chrysler 300. These include several of the 1-1/4-inch Class II type and one of the 2-inch Class III type. All things being equal I suggest the 2-inch Class III hitch # 13465 from Curt since this size hitch will be more widely compatible with a range of hitch-mount accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. An install video is linked.
All you will need to add is the hitch ball, either a 1-7/8-inch (# 19256) or 2-inch (# 19258) depending on your trailer's coupler size, and a wiring harness to operate the trailer's lights. You can use the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C55546 that you referenced, which installs easily (without cutting or splicing wires!) using simple plug-in connectors. An installation video on this item is provided as well.
