Expert Reply:
To tow a trailer with your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L you are going to need a hitch, wiring harness, and a ball mount. The best hitch for your Jeep is going to be the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C97JR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Jeep with included hardware.
I really like the Curt hitch because it installs behind your rear bumper cover and can be completely hidden when you are not towing.
The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C97JR is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 7,500 lbs towing capacity, and a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight. It can be used with a weight distribution system. This hitch is made in the USA and weighs 42 lbs.
I have linked a picture below along with an installation video so you can see what this hitch looks like when installed.
Since you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C27BR and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
