If you are planning on towing with your 2021 Jeep Wrangler, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # DT78MR. The Draw-Tite hitch comes with a maximum gross towing weight of 4,500 pounds and has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 675 pounds.

As far as trailer wiring, if you are just looking to hook up the trailer brake lights/turn signals, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118786. The T-One is constructed of 16-gauge wire and includes a ModuLite power module that connects directly to your battery to avoid overloading the vehicle's electrical system.

If you are looking to add a brake controller to your trailer, you will need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat # ETBC7 after you install the T-One # 118786. Once the 7-Way is set up, you will be able to install the brake controller.

For the brake controller, if you are looking for a controller you can mount in the cab, I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 3 Axles # RED44FR. The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite is a proportional controller which means that the brake controller activates the trailer brakes in proportion to your vehicle's braking action. If you are looking for a wireless option that involves an easier installation process, I recommend the Curt Echo # C51180. Like the Tow-Pro Elite, the Echo is a proportional brake controller as well. The great thing about the Echo is that you can control your braking settings from the ease of your Smart device.

If you need installing any of these products to your 2021 Jeep Wrangler, I linked installation videos to walk you through the process.
