The most popular hitch we offer that is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is the Curt hitch part # 13432. This hitch has the best price by far and is made in the USA so it's a no-brainer if you ask me. This is compatible with your Rubicon bumpers as well.
I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend 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 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.
And for trailer wiring you can use # 118416 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle. I have linked a video showing an example installation of the wiring as well.
