Helpful Expert Reply:
We can help you get your 2015 Jeep Wrangler ready for towing a trailer with electric drum brakes.
The controller I recommend is the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885. This proportional controller will slow your trailer at the same rate that the Wrangler decelerates so you'll get less of that tug-of-war feeling between the vehicle and trailer. This unit offers easy set-up and has proven to be quite reliable. We have customer reviews of this unit you can read if you like, but this unit has received a nearly perfect satisfaction score.
Installation of the P2 will require our brake controller installation kit # ETBC7 and also a 4-pole wiring harness (if you do not already have one on the Jeep.) If you need one use # 118416 from Tekonsha.
I linked both a video and a helpful article covering the installation process for the controller.
