I have a 2020 Grand Cherokee with factory towing package. I am towing a geo-pro 19FBS single axle travel trailer under 4000 lbs. loaded. What would be the recommended brake controller and wiring harness for me? Not interested in spending a fortune, but want a quality, reliable product. Thanks.

You can definitely get a really good brake controller without spending a fortune for your 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and my favorite budget-friendly controller is the Brake EVN # TK63VR.

I really like this controller because is a great value due to its combination of quality and cost-effectiveness. The Brake EVN is going to give you smooth braking and like other proportional controllers, levels automatically and has a bright display that is simple to read and understand.

To install the Brake EVN in your 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the factory 7-way all you need is the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # TK93VR.

For quality and reliability at a good price, there really isn't a better option. I have added links to video reviews for you to check out as well of the Brake EVN # TK63VR.
