For your 2016 Jeep Patriot I recommend Curt trailer hitch # C13081. This is a Class III trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver that is rated for 400 pounds tongue weight and 4,000 pounds gross trailer weight. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you.
For trailer wiring I recommend # 118552 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of your Patriot. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.
I also recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop, interchangeable ball set, hitch pin and clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
