For a hitch to tow a 3.7k trailer on your 2005 Jeep Liberty the Curt hitch part # 13044 would be a great option has it has a 5k trailer towing capacity. You would need to check the owners manual of you vehicle to determine what is Jeep's towing capacity for your vehicle and stay under the lower of the two figures.

For trailer wiring you would want the part # C55382 which is also a confirmed fit. I attached install videos for this and the hitch.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
