Brake Controller Items Needed for Installation in 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Factory Tow Package

Question:

Which items do I need for a brake controller for my V6, 2012 Jeep Gr Cherokee Laredo with the factory towing package? My normal use is a trailer with about 4000 to 5000 pounds total weight including load. Thanks.

Since your 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo has a tow package with 7-way trailer connector at the rear bumper your brake controller installation will be a simple plug-in process.

You can use Tekonsha wiring adapter # TK93VR along with any Tekonsha brand brake controller. Among the most popular and reliable controllers we sell is the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885. This unit offers the flexibility to work with both electric and electric-over-hydraulic trailer brakes, includes built-in diagnostic functions, automatic leveling, and is among the best units we sell. You do also have other options from Tekonsha that can be seen on the included link.

The included article will give you excellent background on the types of controllers available and help you select the one best suited to your needs. But you can't go wrong with the P2.
