From my research Toyota does not recommend towing with your 2017 Toyota Corolla. Check your owner's manual for verification. If you can tow with your vehicle we can definitely help you with the parts that you need.

The trailer hitch I recommend to fit your Corolla is the Draw-Tite # 24913. It's a Class I hitch. I've linked an install video for you as well. The recommended ball mount with the hitch is # 3593. Then use either # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 19258 for a 2 inch hitch ball, whichever fits the trailer's coupler. The pin and clip is # PC2.

You'll also need a wiring harness to power the trailer's lights. Use # 118405 which plugs in to a connector inside the trunk behind both tail lights. Then a hot lead will need to be run to the Corolla's battery.

I've linked a few help articles on towing you might be interested in as well.
