For a hitch for your 2021 Ford Bronco, I recommend the Draw-Tite Hitch - 2" # DT37GR. The Curt hitch is compatible with all Bronco models and comes with all mounting hardware required for a bolt-on installation. As far as weight capacity, the hitch has a 675 pound maximum tongue weight and a 4,500 pound gross towing rating. In order to confirm whether your vehicle can accommodate this much weight, I recommend confirming your vehicle's weight capacity with you owner's manual. In addition to the hitch, you will need a ball mount and ball like what is included in the etrailer Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 2-3/4" Rise or 4" Drop # 989892.

As far as wiring, you will need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # TK99VR. The T-One includes a ModuLite power converter to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches that of your trailer. Since you are towing a light utility trailer, there is no need to add additional wiring that is required for a brake controller.
