Now, not to confuse you anymore - the one from Hitchfinder is a Class One, meaning it can tow up to 2000lb (realistically, that's more than enough for a bike + trailer). The one from ebay is a Class Two, which is up to 3500lb. I don't know if a passenger car should tow anything that high. but the choice is yours. I will just stick with Class One and be done with.

Lastly, you will then need to install one electrical component:

you can do this yourself too.


and yes, you can certainly install the hitch yourself. one word of advice: don't tighten all bolts UNTIL both left and right sides are in place. If the hitch is just slightly bend (due to shipping or manufacturing defect), you will have a nightmare aligning the hole together.
Alright.... Ordered!

That having been said I was at a track day in March in group C where a pretty fantastic crash happened 10 ft in front of me on the front straight. Your dad would have gotten great shots of that! And you can get some cool pictures of guys wheeling coming on to the front straight during the races on saturday and sunday if you choose to stay. Make it a bonding experience!
Well I'm gna just install a trailer hitch on my car, seems like a pretty sensible option. He would have had to take 2 days off work as well and I'm not sure he'd even really have fun if he couldn't get some good shots
