I recommend The Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # DT78MR for your 2016 Jeep Wrangler.
In addition to towing this hitch is also great for bike racks and cargo carriers that are attached to Jeeps with a rear mounted spare tire. (Towing Capacity: 350 Pound Tongue Weight // 3500 Pound Towing) Be sure to check your owner's manual for your Jeep's tow rating by the way. Installation video attached. I also attached our Best Jeep Wrangler Hitch Options video, so you'll have all the details that fit best for your specific application.
To round out your towing package, I also recommend the following:
Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C55124. Installation video attached.
etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 7,500 lbs # 989900. Review video attached.
