Recommended Wiring Harness for a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Question:
I have a 2018 Jeep grand Cherokee. I’m looking to pull a small trailer with it. I found the towing kit I need and everything but I don’t know what to buy to hook up the electric so it’s legal. Can you tell me what kit I need to buy for that?

It sounds like your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee does not have the towing package. To add a wiring harness to it you will want the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # C62VR. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Jeep's wiring harness, which is located behind the tail lights. It will provide you with a 4-flat connector that allows you to control your small trailer's lighting functions.
I have linked an installation video below. Please feel free to email me directly if you have any additional questions or concerns.
I recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR to secure the 4-way connector to your hitch. This will put it in an easy to reach spot and prevent the risk of it falling onto the road.
Here are some other parts you will need to tow a small trailer with your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee:
Trailer Hitch - etrailer Hitch item # e98901
Ball Mount Kit - Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534
