For your 2018 Chrysler 300C, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76145. This is a 2 inch receiver that is rated for up to 675 lbs tongue weight. I've attached a video of this installation to assist. The plastic underbody panel will be permanently removed with this installation.

If you will be towing with this trailer hitch, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118658. This harness will connect to your factory wiring harness located behind the tail lights and will draw power directly from your vehicle battery to protect your factory wiring and electronics. I've attached an article to assist with routing that wire.

For your ball mount recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS10035B for an adjustable ball mount compatible with many trailer coupler heights and having a nice clean storage option to protect your shins. If you want more of a basic ball mount, I recommend the etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches # 989900 which comes with two ball mount options and two hitch ball options. This kit has a storage bag for the parts when not in use. If you want a locking hitch pin to protect your investment I recommend # e98880.
