Since you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, I'd recommend you go with the Draw-Tite # 36297. The hitch does indeed include all necessary installation hardware.

In addition to the hitch, you will need a ball mount like # 36051. You'll also need a trailer wiring harness like part # C59496 and a trailer ball like part # 19257 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # 19258 for a 2 inch size. The coupler on your trailer will have the correct ball size stamped into the metal of its coupler.

I'm sorry to say that we don't currently offer a folding trailer such as you describe.
