asked by: Marvin F
Expert Reply:
I did some checking and it looks like your 2015 Jeep Cherokee has vacuum assisted brakes.
The most popular supplemental braking system we offer is the Roadmaster Even Brake Part # RM-9400 this system applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.
The brake switch wire on your 2015 Cherokee that you will need is a dark green/light green trimmed wire. Look for it on the brake switch above the brake pedal. You will need to use stop light switch kit # RM-751471 with this vehicle as well. It ensures that you are alerted that the brake pedal on the toad is actually moving.
I attached a help article on supplemental braking systems for you to check out as well.
