Parts Needed to Convert 4-Way of 2017 Jeep Wrangler to 6-Way and Install Brake Controller
Question:
Hi, I have a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport with tow package and factory installed 4-pole trailer connector. Im considering buying a nice used horse trailer, but it currently has a 6-way round connector. I think Id like to rewire the horse trailer to use the 4-pole connection in my Jeep, and I will also need to add a break controller to my Jeep. Can someone tell me what parts I would need to accomplish these changes? Hopefully the photos help. Thank you.

Expert Reply:
The kit you need to convert your 4-way to a 6-way is the part # ETBC6 which plugs right into the 4-way and then comes with everything needed to wire in a 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 as it is incredibly reliable, works, well and is easy to use. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.
