A standard flat towing setup requires a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. Here is what I recommend using for your 2022 Jeep Wagoneer:
Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Part # BLU46CR (if you have tow hooks) or Part # BLU66XR (if you don't have tow hooks)
etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar - # e67ZR (comes with safety cables)
Universal Wiring Kit - # RM-152-1676-7
Brake System - Part # DM86VR (motorhome hydraulic brakes) or Part # DM26VR (motorhome air brakes)
High-Low Adapter - See attached article (bracket height is 23")
I like the Blue Ox base plate kit because it looks really clean when the tabs are removed and you're driving the vehicle around as normal. The etrailer tow bar is a solid choice with some adjustability in the head to help limit the need for a high-low adapter and it comes with safety cables that install on the tow bar arms so it's less you have to think about.
The wiring is the best kit we have to offer and the brake kits I recommended permanently install on the vehicle but they install out of the way - this means it's less time spent setting up the towed vehicle and more time you get to spend at the campground doing what you want to. The brake kits install out of the way enough that you won't realize it's there when you're driving around normally.
Attached are some videos and a helpful article on the high-low adapter for you to check out.
