If the towing capacity of your 2016 Jeep Cherokee Sport with the 2.4 I4 engine is 2,000 lbs then the gross weight of the trailer cannot exceed 2,000 lbs. I am not totally sure what you are looking for as a size clarification but for trailer's under 2,000 lbs you will be looking at options like select Riverside Retros, Forest River Flagstaff E-Pros, Palomino PaloMinis, Jayco Hummingbirds, and Forest River Rockwood Geo Pros.
In order to set your Cherokee up for towing you will need a trailer hitch, trailer wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball. For a trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13172 because it is a custom fit with hidden design (see photo). For a trailer wiring harness, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C56208 which is a plug and play option with no splicing required. Finally, for a ball mount/hitch ball, the etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit part # 989900 should have you covered.
I have attached some install videos for you as well.
