Yes we have flat towing components that will fit and work great on your 2012 Jeep Liberty from Blue Ox. The first thing you need is a base plate kit part # BX1131 which I attached an install video for on a 2012 Liberty. Next you'll need a tow bar like the Blux Ox # BX7420 which is one of the easiest to use and allows the towed vehicle to track the best behind it.
For lighting the best solution is the # RM-15267. The diode kit that comes with this allows you to splice into the taillight wiring so that your RV controls the vehicle taillights and does not require drilling into the taillight housings. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV. I attached an install video for this as well.
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.
Most likely you will also need a high low adapter so that the tow bar will be level when you are flat towing. I attached a link to a page that has all of the ones we carry.
I have included a couple of helpful links to our articles on flat towing for you. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for more specific information on flat towing your vehicle.
