If the eventual goal would be to install a brake controller in your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited that has a 4-way trailer connector the kit you would want is the # ETBC7 instead. This comes with the same # 37185 adapter but also comes with everything else you would need to wire up a brake controller. Essentially it's the # 37185 with everything else needed to install the brake controller.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.
