The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76209 is a two inch trailer hitch receiver rated for 675 lb tongue weight and up to 4500 lbs towing capacity. There is no drilling required for this hitch installation. This receiver will work especially well with accessories like a bike rack or cargo carriers. The hitch pin hole is 3 inches recessed from the outermost part of the bumper which will be compatible with almost all 2 inch accessories.

For your trailer hitch if you want trailer wiring, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118629 if you have the sedan or # 118744 if you have the 5 door wagon. These harnesses will plug into the factory wiring connections behind your tail lights and draw power directly from your battery. I've attached an article to help with routing that power wire.

If you are looking to do some towing I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10047B which gives you all three standard hitch ball sizes and will allow you to store the ball behind the shank when not in use for a clean look that also protects your shins. I recommend protecting your investment using the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63232.
