Will Curt Echo Brake Controller Work with 2021 Jeep Gladiator with Manual Transmission

Question:

I purchased a 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave and am looking at using the Curt Echo in order to tow a landscaping trailer I towed it with my previous vehicle, a Ford F-150. My jeep has a manual transmission, so will it work with the Curt Echo? If not, are there any options out there for brake controllers for manual transmission vehicles?

Yes, the Curt Echo # C51180 will work just fine for your 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave whether it has a manual or automatic transmission. I don't think I've come across a brake controller that was transmission specific in the past so you won't have anything to worry about.

If you have the factory tow package then you just have to plug the Echo into your vehicle and follow the setup instructions. If you don't have the factory tow package then you will also need a 4-Way, I recommend the T-One # 118786 because of how reliable it is, and our Wiring Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L which gives you the 7-Way connection that you need plus the wiring for the 12V power that the Echo needs.

Attached are some install and review videos that you can check out.
