Hitch? The latest 4Runners come with a 2" hitch receiver and plug in for the wiring, both 4 pin and 7 pin.
What you need is a ball mount and ball. Most trailers use a 2" ball, but some smaller trailers use a 1 7/8" ball. You can buy ball mounts and balls anywhere, even Walmart sells them. Since the 4Runner is a bit higher off the ground than most cars, you may want a ball mount with a drop, that is the ball is lower to the ground than the hitch receiver (you want the trailer tongue to be level, not slanted up). I use a 5" drop ball mount when I tow my utility trailer.
