The instructions for Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75940 are linked on its product page below the description and they are linked on this answer page as well.

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

And to add trailer wiring you can use # 119250KIT to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle. With this harness you will not have to splice into the vehicle tail light wiring for installation.
