The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2020 Chrysler Pacifica is the 2 inch etrailer part # e98903 as it has great towing capacities and is mostly hidden since only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper. This aspect also helps with ground clearance as well. I attached a picture of what the hitch looks like as well as an install video for more info as well.

For trailer wiring the best option is the Tekonsha kit part # 118712 if you have the Touring L, Touring L Plus, Limited, or Touring Plus model. Or if you have the Touring or LX model you'd want the # 118723. These kits are easy to install as they plug inline with the taillights of the vehicle and they also come with a very reliable converter box.

I attached install videos for both of these kits for you to check out as well.

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.
