The hitch I recommend for your 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee to tow your boat is the Curt Class III hitch part # C13065 as it has great towing capacities and unlike other options it's mostly hidden as well. I attached an install video for it as well as a picture of it installed as well.

For trailer wiring you'd then want the Curt wiring kit part # C56009 which is very easy to install as well. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

If 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.
