Compatibility of Curt C51180 Echo Wireless Brake Controller With 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
Question:
Hello, I am looking for a brake controller for a 2021 grand Cherokee L, I see those are not currently made for the ones with tow package like the 2022 regular grand cherokees but wanted to know If that’s something that is being done or what, thanks

A brake controller isn't a vehicle specific item, they can be installed on just about any vehicle.
If your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L has a functional 7-way trailer connector at the rear bumper, the Curt # C51180 Echo wireless brake controller would be a plug and play installation, no other parts would be needed.
If you don't have the 7-way trailer connector, you'll need a functional 4 pole trailer connector which would be provided by the # C27BR trailer wiring harness. Once that's installed, you'll need the # ETBC7L brake controller installation kit. The kit includes all the wiring, hardware and the circuit breaker needed to install the controller. It also includes the adapter to convert the 4 pole provided by the # C27BR harness to a 7-way.
I'll link to a video that explains how the # ETBC7L kit works, as well as to a demonstration video for the Curt # C51180 Echo Wireless Brake Controller.
