First you'll want a trailer hitch installed on your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee to tow a trailer. For that the Draw Tite part # 75699 is your best option. It has plenty of towing capacity and only has the hitch opening visible so it's easier on the eyes than some hitches. It's also priced great. You'll need a 4-way wiring harness too so that you can activate the trailers taillights. For that our best option si the Tekonsha kit part # 118727 which is most reliable and best fitting kit we offer for your vehicle.

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.
