This will depend on the car and the hitch kit.
The Hitch I put on my Fiero to pull the rase tire trailer to events was a bolt on in two hours affair.
The one for my Kia is going to be a pain, the rear bumper cover is removed, the bolts to hold the metal bumper to the car are removed, the tail pipe removed.
The hitch is bolted up and holes drilled for extra bolts, all the bolts are loosened off and the hitch allowed to hang, the bumper cover re-installed, the hitch bolts tightened and the new tail pipe hanger installed. Book says 3.5 hours, at home in the garage all day.

What size hardware is required to install an after sales market trailer hitch on a 2003 liberty?
If your jeep does not have a factory trailer hitch installed then you would look one up online, in a catalog, or go to a hitch dealer, and find one make for your jeep. If you have the factory hitch receiver then you are most likely looking for what is called a ball mount. My 2003 liberty with factory hitch receiver requires a 2 inch ball mount. That's the outside size of the square tubing. You will also need the 'ball' itself. The size required is determined by the 'hitch' on the trailer or device being towed. 1-7/8 and 2 inch balls are common sizes. You may also need a T-One adaptor to hook up the trailer lighting. Anyone competent at Napa, AutoZone, CarQuest, etc. should be able to help you out if you need a personalized touch.
