Hey Andy! To tow a small U-Haul trailer you will need a hitch, wiring, and a ball mount. You already picked out the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH97FR. For wiring I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56434. This plugs into the connection points behind your tail lights and will provide you with a 4-way to power the lights on the trailer.

Then for a ball mount, check out the etrailer Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # e66PR. This comes with a 2" and 2-5/16" ball, and can be adjusted for a maximum 6" rise/drop allow you to tow a variety of trailers.

Where are you headed with the U-Haul?
