Your receiver is 2" and you'll need the proper size plug from your trailer to the Jeep's plug - or an adaptor if the trailer uses a different plug. You'll need a trailer ball in your receiver and a safety chain from the Jeep to the trailer.

depending on the height of the trailer, you may need to get what i think are called "drop down" hitch. i was going to borrow my friends trailer but the tongue of the trailer was too low and it caused the trailer to be higher in the front causing everything to roll to the back

Pretty snazzy set up. I've never seen an adjustable one.

When I towed a U-Haul trailer, I used a cheap $22.99 hitch/ball I bought at a Schucks auto parts with a 4" drop and it worked great.
