How To Install A Brake Controller On A 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited With Factory Tow Package
Question:
I'm just getting started towing and will need to add a brake controller. The simpler the better. I got the 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with factory tow. What do you recommend?

If a simple install and operation is what you're looking for, look no further than the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller # C51180. Since you have the tow package on your 2020 Jeep Wrangler, the Echo brake controller unit plugs directly into your 7-way trailer connection with no wiring required to your trailer either. You can accomplish all your brake controller functions through an app you download on your phone. Simple.
For a hitch, the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98856 is a great option in an attractive and scratch resistant matte black finish. An adjustable ball mount like the Flash Solid Steel HD Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # FA49-00-5625 with 2 different size hitch balls then completes the package with the flexibility to fit multiple height and coupler size trailers.
Included are video resources with additional information to get you started.
