Parts Needed to Tow Trailer with 2016 Jeep Compass
Question:
Would I just need the hitch and wiring for my Jeep Compass for C13081? Or are there other needed parts?

If you were planning on towing with your 2016 Jeep Compass there are a few items you will need. First let's start with the hitch. For that you would want the # C13081 that you referenced which is a confirmed fit. I attached an install video for this.
For trailer wiring you then would want the part # C56344 which is a confirmed fit as well.
Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
