Yep, the mounting points are already there. There are two behind the bumper near the centreline and two under the car near the fuel tank. There's normally a towing eye bolted up to these points so that has to come off first. For a very small, light trailer (one that doesn't obstruct the lights) for daytime use only, you could rig a fitting that would attach to this towing eye instead of adding a trailer hitch but you'd want to understand well what weights and trailer behaviour would work for this. If you have to ask about it, maybe you shouldn't attempt it...
