Hello Melvin, thanks for reaching out. What I recommend for your 2021 Jeep Compass Sport is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e48AR. This has a 2" receiver, a 4,000 lb towing capacity and 600 lb tongue weight capacity.
The only thing to keep in mind is installing a trailer hitch may interfere with the functionality of your hands free liftgate sensor.
If you intend to tow a trailer, you will also need the Curt T-Connector # C56369.
The video I linked below will show you an example of installation.
Leave a reply below with any other questions or comments and I am happy to get back to you.

Hey Melvin, how did the etrailer hitch work out on your Jeep Compass Sport? Did you notice any issues with the hands-free liftgate after it was on? Your update could make it easier for others setting up the same hitch.
