For your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the factory tow package I recommend using the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR along with the wiring harness # RED77FR.

Then the best place to mount the controller in my opinion is in the console on the driver's side. I've attached a photo to assist. This will allow the control box to be hidden and give you the control at your fingertip with an extremely clean look.
