Recommended Towing Mirrors And Brake Controller For A 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Question:
I saw the response by Mike L about the towing mirrors for a 2014. What about for my 2012? Is the KS3891 a good solution? And what brake controller do you recommend. My Jeep has the 5.7 and factory tow package with the 4 and 7 pin connectors. Im going to be towing a small travel trailer like a 19 foot R-Pod.

Expert Reply:
Yes, the K-Source Universal Towing Mirror part # KS3891 will work great for your 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee as they have been confirmed to fit from previous customer reviews.
I also recommend checking out the K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Pair part # KS3990 as these mirrors have the same attached method as those listed above in addition to providing an additional mirror for blind sport monitoring.
For a brake controller compatible with your Jeep, I recommend using the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 as this controller has the most advanced integrated safeguards that protect your vehicle, trailer and the controller. You will also want to use the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # TK93VR as this will allow you to plug the brake controller directly into your vehicle's factory wiring harness without the need to cut or slice any wires.
I have included a test course video on each set of towing mirrors in addition to a brake controller installation on a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee for you.
