We do have a hitch for the 2023 Jeep Cherokee that will protrude through the bumper with the Draw-Tite Class 3 Hitch # DT28MR. This receiver will go right in the center area of the bumper, right behind the plastic removable panel. This helps with ground clearance, and in my opinion, looks much cleaner on the back of the vehicle.

I have linked the manufacturer instructions below. The instructions include a few really good pictures showing the location of the hitch once installed.
