Expert Reply:

The best hitch for towing a light utility trailer on your 2022 Jeep Compass is the Curt Hitch - 2" # C13363. Apart from offering the highest gross towing weight capacity we offer for your vehicle (4,000 pounds), the Curt hitch comes with a superior powder coat with gloss finish to protect from rust and corrosion. Also, with the 2-inch opening, the hitch will be compatible with more accessories than the Curt 1-1/4" # C12174.

For the wiring, to add a 4-way to your setup for brake lights, turn signals, and running lights, you need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Harness # C56369. In addition to the wiring, I recommend a ball/ball mount like the ones included in the etrailer Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 3/4" Rise or 2" Drop # 989891. This kit also comes with a storage bag and a hitch pin.

If you do not have a trailer yet, the Detail K2 Mighty Multi Utility Trailer - 6' Long - 1,295 lbs # K2MMT4X6 is a great choice that will provide you with 72" long x 48" wide x 7-1/2" tall of cargo space.
