I cut my bumper off and put on that Lippert hitch. It is rated for 350lb tongue capacity and 3500lb towing capacity.
I carry 2 electric bikes on it.
Beside the hitch, you need to put in a trailer plug.
$500 from a dealer sounds like a good deal. But I'd have a lot of questions about how is is mounted, who makes it, and whether installation of the trailer plug is included. My guess is the $500 is for labor only.Larry KE4DMG

I added a Class III hitch to the rear of my Momentum triple axle Toy Hauler last fall. The hitch itself is 500/5000 rated. I bought all the material needed to have a place to bolt the hitch to, but hired a certified mobile welder to come to my house and do all the welding on it. Once the 4" Channel iron was welded to the 12" main frame of the trailer, I had pre-drilled the holes in the Channel iron and I bolted it up to the welded on channel. I used eight Grade 8 bolts that are 1/2"-13 and the welder told me that he felt like what I built and the way it was attached could easily utilize the 500/5000 spec of the hitch. I don't tow anything with the hitch though, it is for a RV rated bike rack and has two ebikes loaded on it.
