Expert Reply:

With the Curt Class 3 Trailer Hitch Receiver Hitch, # 13223, you will also need to hard wire your vehicle with the 4-Pole Hardwire Kit, # 119178KIT.

There is some helpful information on our wiring faq page linked below.

Other accessories include the Class III Drawbar 3/4 inch Rise or 2 inch Drop , # C45010.

For balls I recommend the Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball Set, # 900B, especially if you are not sure what you might be towing.

I also recommend our stainless-steel receiver lock, # e98882, to secure the ball mount in the receiver.

In terms of installation for the hitch I have included a link to the instructions. You will be looking at an install time of about 40 minutes with no drilling required. We rate the difficulty at a 4 which translates into not very much difficulty for the average do-it-yourselfer.
