I have a 2021 Rubicon. I bought it with around 50,000 miles. I want to tow a casita trailer with it, around 2000 lbs, but I can’t figure out the hitch situation. There appears to be a place to bolt on a hitch receiver, but I can’t identify the OEM part and am not sure what class it would be. I need a class iii.

I do have the brake on the bumper and have installed the redarc brake controller. Can anyone provide some insight? I am unable to look at the hitch because my jeep is in the shop waiting on warranty work. But I will get photo next time I visit it. Hopefully I will have it back sooner than later. I am trying to ease my anxiety about not having it by doing research and planning upgrades.

Okay, so I do have a question. Does the middle section, where the receiver bolts on? Because it appears I have the crossbar already but am missing only the receiver section? This is where I am confused.
