As you already have a 4-way pin connector the 7-Way Kit # ETBC7 will provide you the additional wiring you need to connect a brake controller and charge line. This will connect to your current 4-way and will give you a 4-way flat as well as a 7-way so you will not need an adapter if towing different trailers behind your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JLU.

I recommend using the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller # RED44FR as it includes a proportional brake mode which is best for towing on the road and a user controlled mode which is best when off-roading. This will give you the best control over your brakes in any environment you find yourself.
