If you need a trailer hitch and wiring harness recommendation for your 2021 Jeep Ranger Unlimited, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98856. The great thing about this particular hitch is the weight capacity you receive without breaking the bank. It has a maximum tongue weight of 350 pounds and a maximum gross towing weight of 3,500 pounds. In addition, the hitch comes with all installation hardware for an easy bolt-on installation.

For a wiring harness for your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56407. This connector provides a 4-way flat trailer connector at the back of your Jeep Wrangler to power your accessories' lights. I went ahead and included a video of the installation to this answer.

If you need a recommendation for a bike rack that is compatible with the etrailer hitch receiver and will clear the rear bumper and spare tire, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # HR200Z. The measurement between the center of the shank pinhole to the closest part of the Trail Rider is 12-1/8 inches, which is plenty of distance to clear both your bumper and your spare tire. Another great thing about the Trail Rider is that it includes locks that secure both your bikes to the rack as well as the Trail Rider to your vehicle.
