Expert Reply:

The shipping weight of the Draw-Tite # 36501 Class II hitch is 28 lbs which would be about 25 lbs minus the shipping packaging.

Purchase of the hitch includes all necessary installation hardware. The hitch uses four 1/2-13 x 1.75 grade 8 carriage bolts and four grade 8 1/2-13 hex nuts. You'll also need four .250 x 1.00 x 3.00 inch square hole spacers and four 1/2 inch conical toothed washers. The conical toothed washers and spacers are specialty hardware that you're unlikely to find locally.

You can obtain the replacement hardware by ordering part # RHK, inputting '36501' in to the field on the linked product page, and choosing 'Draw-Tite' from the drop down menu.

If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # 118426, a ball mount like part # 36051 and # 19256 for a 1-7/8 or # 19258 for a 2 inch trailer ball.

I've linked to the installation instructions and to an install video for you.
