- The correct Tekonsha 4-Way harness for your 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is the T-One # 118786. This will plug right into factory ports behind the driver and passenger side tail lights.

view full answer... - Pro and Cons of Air Bags Versus a Weight Distribution System for a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler
- For your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler, I recommend using a weight distribution system, the Husky Center Line Weight Distribution part # HT32215 for 2" hitch ball or part # HT32216 for 2-5/16" hitch ball.

Now, you may not think that because you have a light trailer that trailer...

view full answer... - Which Trailer Hitch for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Has Best Clearance for Bike Rack to Fit Past Spare
