The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # E98856 will fit your 2017 Jeep Wrangler and the 2020 Jeep Wrangler. The nice thing about this hitch is it will also fit the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. There are no confirmed fits for the 2021 models yet but since Jeep isn't making any generation changes for the 2021 model, I'm confident it will fit the 2021 model as well.
I like this hitch because it gives you better clearance for your accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers. The hitch pin hole sits further out helping you get your item past your spare tire. The matte black finish looks better and it holds up compared to the more traditional glossy finish.
Hitch hardware replacement kits # RHK are available if you need to replace any hardware for your hitch when you swap your hitch to a different Wrangler.
I attached videos of this hitch on a 2017 & 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.
