The best hitch for carrying your bike rack and cargo carrier is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e45ZR. This custom fit hitch has a 2" receiver and a maximum tongue weight of 750 lbs. It also features a matte black powder coat finish. Not only does this give the hitch more of an OEM look, it also hides dirt and scratches better when compared to a glossy finish. It comes with a limited lifetime warranty and is made in the USA.

If you plan on doing any towing in the future, you might also consider adding a wiring harness like the Curt T-Connector # CU94FR. This plugs into your existing port, providing you with a 4-way connection at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights.

For a ball mount, I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900. This kit comes with a 1-7/8" and 2" ball, as well as a ball mount bag to store everything in.

I have attached some installation videos that you can check out.
