We are thinking to install a trailer hitch on our car because we just bought a house and sometimes we need to carry something which cannot fit into our cars.
We have two cars: 96 4-cyclinder toyota camry and 98 dodge neon. both are 4 doors.
We don't know we should use which one to do the towing work. Which one is more powerful? which one is easy to install?
thanks

I suggest you go to a hitch manufacturer's website and look up installation manuals on both. Neither car will tow more than about 1000 lbs, maybe less and if you have a lot of uphill stuff you might not be able to maintain speed and become a traffic hazzard.
I guess if I had to choose, the lesser of two evils would be the camry. Its bigger, a little more beefy, and worlds more reliable. Look in your owner's manual or contact a dealer to find out what your tow rating is and DON'T exceed it. You don't want to bend suspension parts, fry a tranny, or overstress the engine.

Deffinitly the Camry.
They are actually very capable at towing trailers.
In fact its about the only thing they are good at.
