We have just what you need, since you said the 11th digit of your VIN is a T that means you have a new body style 2017 Jeep Compass Trail Hawk.
For the price and ease of install the best Class III hitch we have for your vehicle is the Draw Tite part # 76144 which is confirmed as a fit and would work very well.
For trailer wiring you then would want the part # C56369 which is a confirmed fit as well.
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.
