7. It depends on the weight of the hitch between $500-1000. Installed.

You can do it yourself with a CURT hitch, that you can get from an auto parts store. It's like $225 and bolts on the same way they put it on. The auto parts store can tell you which one to get for your vehicle.

You can look it up on YouTube and see if it has any special directions, usually it's just a few bolts to the frame. It's usually a very easy job.
