Any drill bit designed for drilling through metal will work, although tungsten carbide bits are the best (although pricey). Here are a few tips for drilling through metal. Start with a small bit, drill a pilot hole and switch to an intermediate sized bit, followed by the final diameter. Drill at a slow speed, while applying steady pressure.
I suppose you could use a hacksaw to cut your trailer tongue, but it would take quite some time and many, many blades. Your best bet would be to use a reciprocating saw or an angle grinder with a cut-off wheel installed on it.
