It's not hard. A class 1 or 2 hitch. There are two or three companies that make trailer hitches for cars. If you have a U-Haul i your area, they probably have one in stock and can install it for ya for around 2 bills.

Any local parts stores should be able to get you one.. Checker, Napa, etc....

I put a hitch on a ford tempo once! It was really easy. the only part you may have a problem with is the wiring harness. If the car doesn't come with some sort of pull-apart tail light harness, you'll have to splice into the factory wires yourself. You also may need a heavy duty flasher.

you should be fine, i know some fools that used a dodge neon to pull a couple jet skis out to the river and it made it numerious times. my buddy uses his audi a4 to take his bike off road. just splice into the wiring and be done with it.
