I would recommend the Hidden Hitch Class III Trailer Hitch, item # 87479, for your vehicle. I have listed the items you will need to complete your towing setup for towing a 2,500 pound travel trailer with trailer brakes below.

Tekonsha PRODIGY Brake Controller, Item # 90185
T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector, Item # 118438
Brake Controller 7 & 4 Way Installation Kit, Item # ETBC7
Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, Item # D13501 (Check out the FAQ page on transmission coolers to the right)
Ball Mount 2-3/4 inch Rise or 4 inch Drop, 6,000 lbs, item # 2753
Hitch Ball, Item # 19260, or # 19247
Pin and Clip, Item # PC3

These items will get you set up the right way to get started towing the camper. If you decide that you need weight distribution to reduce vehicle sag at the rear or for sway control on the highway, let me know and I will be glad to make a recommendation for those items too.
