Expert Reply:

The recommended ball mount for the Draw-Tite # 36540 trailer hitch that fits your 2014 Toyota Camry is the Ball Mount for 1-1/4" Hitch # 36071, which must be used in the rise position only, according to the installation manual of the hitch (which I have linked for you).

This ball mount comes with a pin and clip to attach it to your hitch so you will not need to purchase one separately, but you will need a hitch ball. For that you will need to use either 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # 19256 or 2" Hitch Ball # 19258, depending on the size of your trailer's coupler.

Since you will be towing you also need to add a 4-way to your Camry to power your trailer's lights and for that the best option is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118405 because we have found this brand to be the most reliable.

It is also recommended you use Dielectric Grease for Electrical Connectors # 11755 to help prevent any type of corrosion in your connector, which will increase its durability and extend its lifespan.
