Brake Controller Install Harness Recommendation for 2018 Jeep Wrangler

Question

Question:

I am going to install a brake controller in my 2018 Jeep Wrangle unlimited JL with the factory tow/haul. I just need the end that connects into my vehicles harness. I can remove the other end that is specific to curt controller. Will this fit my Jeep? I looked in Curt’s online site and it said that it would fit. Do you recommend this or do you have another suggestion? Thanks.

Yes, I confirmed with Curt that the trailer wiring install harness part # C51458 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Jeep Wrangler and will make installing a brake controller easy. It will plug right into the port under the dash of your vehicle to make installing the brake controller easy.
