Yes, we do have trailer hitches for a 2022 Ford Explorer. The best option is going to be the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e29YR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Explorer with included hardware. It has a maximum gross trailer weight of 6,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 600 lbs. You will want to confirm what your model Explorers capacity is before towing. I have linked an installation video below.

If you need a wiring harness to control your trailer or accessories lighting functions I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 118599. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located inside your trunk, behind the tail lights on both the driver's side and passenger's side. This will provide you with a 4-way vehicle connector. To secure it to your Explorer's hitch and keep it from being damaged you will want the Tow Ready Mounting Bracket item # 18144.

To round out your towing setup I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. It also includes a hitch pin and clip, hitch receiver lock with keys, hitch cover, and a storage case.
