The replacement rear bumper # PE4591101 has about the same height (6 inches) as the stock bumper on a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. This means you can install a trailer hitch like # 13432 to tow a small utility trailer.
You'd also need trailer wiring to activate all of the lights. For that you'd want the part # C55124.
Since 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.
