Since the carrier and cargo you are planning on using with this hitch is around 500 pounds, your best option is going to be with a frame mounted trailer hitch. I recommend looking at the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13702. This trailer hitch is specifically designed for use on RVs and trailer and can be bolted to the frame or welded on for a no-drill application. It will fit frames that are 18 to 51 inches wide and will provide a 2 inch receiver opening. It has a tongue weight capacity of 500 pounds, which is the highest tongue weight capacity available for an RV/trailer style hitch.

I also recommend checking with the trailer manufacturer to make sure this type of tongue weight is suitable for the rear of your Passport.

I have attached the written installation instructions along with a short video demonstration on this product that you can also check out.
