Does Pollak Trailer Connector Work With Electric Brake Controller on 2018 Jeep Wrangler?

Question:

I have a 2018 jeep jk with tow package. I am looking at campers with electric brakes. I know that I have to run wires for the brake controller and will need controller itself. My main concern is Item # HM40975-11933 doesnt state whether or not it can be used with a brake controller? Any help would be appreciated

The Pollak 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket # HM40975-11933 will absolutely work with a brake controller. This will replace the 7-way on your 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited with factory tow package.

As for a brake controller itself, I strongly recommend the Prodigy P3 # 90195; it is the most popular model we carry due to its effectiveness and ease of use. It will activate your trailer's brakes immediately in proportion to your Jeep's brakes and offers three different boost levels so you can adjust your braking power.

The P3 levels automatically, has constant diagnostic checks, contains safeguards which defend your controller against shorts, and features an LCD display which is much easier to read than that of other controllers. This controller has been met with nearly universal praise; it has been reviewed by our customers more than 2,000 times and is averaging close to 5 out of 5 stars. To install this controller in your Jeep you would need Wiring Kit # 5506.

I've added links to video reviews of these parts for you to take a look at as well.
