Expert Reply:
First you'll want to start with the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75712 which is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Jeep Patriot and would work well. I attached an install video for this for you to check out too. It's a 2 inch hitch which will have higher towing capacities.
You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118552.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
