Yes, you will need the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers part # 3014-P even if your 2017 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk has the factory tow package. This harness will plug into the tow package port on your vehicle and the back of the brake controller which is how it allows for plug and play install.

For a brake controller to use with this harness, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195. The Prodigy P3 is our best selling brake controller because of its reliability. It has a lifetime warranty and can easily be transferred from vehicle to vehicle. The major benefits of this brake controller are that it has integrated safeguards to protect your vehicle, trailer, and the controller. It also has a customizable LCD display which is easy to use, more so than most standard brake controllers of its kind.

I have attached an install video for you which shows where the port is located.
