Do I need to use a hitch pin and clip, or does one come in the box?

The hitch assembly and brackets are included, but hitch pins and clips are sold separately. Grab a standard 2" locking pin set to secure your carrier or tow equipment once installed.

Will I need to drill into the frame to bolt this on?

No drilling required. This hitch mounts directly to factory anchor points on the rear frame, so installation is a straightforward bolt-down with basic hand tools.

Can I tow a trailer with this, or is it just for cargo carriers?

The 2" receiver is designed for Class II duty — cargo carriers, bike racks, and light towing applications. Check your vehicle's owner manual for exact weight ratings and towing capacity limits.
