If you're planning on doing some light-duty towing, you'd want Draw-Tite #24892, along with the # 118528 trailer wiring harness and the 1-7/8 inch diameter trailer ball, part # 19256.

The Curt # C11302 would install in essentially the same manner, using the same attachment points, and has an identical weight capacity. However, Cut requires the use of a stabilizing strap # 18050 to provide extra support to non-trailer loads. The strap doesn't work well with some vehicles, so I typically recommend using either the Draw-Tite model.

There is an existing hole in the frame that needs to be enlarged in order to fish the hardware though the frame, using a drill is one method to enlarge the hole. I'll link you to some videos showing how to enlarge a frame hole and how to use a fishwire to pull hardware through the vehicle frame.
