The etrailer.com Class III hitch you'd looked at, part # e98901 fits all models of the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the exception of SRT, SRT8 or Trackhawk vehicles. If you'd prefer something that's less visible, that would have the hitch crossbar concealed behind the vehicle's bumper, the Curt # C13065 would be a better choice. The only portion of the # C13065 that would be visible from the rear would be the receiver tube and the safety chain loops. I'll provide a side by side photo of the two, showing what they look like once installed.

If you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, you'll also need a taillight wiring harness like # 118727 for vehicles not equipped with a tow package or # C55774 for vehicles with the tow package. For a ball mount, I'd go with # 2753 and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.

I've linked to install videos that you might find helpful.
