Lay everything out, do a mock up by holding it up to the frame then move away (with hitch supported) to stare at it a few.

Where it mounts up on the frame, if going where there are already existing bolts, spray some PB blaster or other rust penetrater the day before. It will make your job easier, minimizing the knuckle busters you might come away with. Having air tools and impact sockets makes the job easy on you and your hands.
Wear work gloves and eye protection. There's dirt & grit that will mysteriously find it's way in to your eyes when least expecting it.

+1 thank you, sir.

Yes, indeed on the safety glasses. Plenty of tools. The buddy who will be helping me is the same one who helped me convert a Montero to manual transmission on a model that didn't come that way in the US. To say we ended up fabricating stuff would be an understatement.

You can likely buy a plug and play harness.

Any hitch is probably bolt on, probably just need an extra pair of hands.

ETA: yup, bolt on Class III https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hit...ll-description
