I will never use a bumper hitch no matter how light the trailer is. My old man years ago was pulling a light pop up and had to make a quick stop. The bumper bent down to a 45* angle.
A class III receiver is average 120-130 bucks. Bolt it on right in the driveway. Usually the factory runs the LT, RT, Marker, and ground wires back there. If not then there are adapters available. Its pretty much stupid proof now a days.
I have no problems towing the open trailer with my 1500. If you have to install a brake controller. A simple time delay is all you need. Use circuit breakers, proper guage wire, and follow the directions. Some trailer dealers
will sell a kit that includes it all. I ran 10g for my power and 12g for my brakes.
