There are a couple things you'll need in order to add a trailer brake controller to your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I'm going to assume you do not have the wiring, so you'll need to add a 7-way to your Jeep to control the trailer brakes. For that you'll need the following:
- T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way and 4-Pole Flat Connectors # C55774
Please note you may need to see a local Jeep dealer to activate the tow package wiring circuit if the seller had not done so. Then you can add a brake controller and plug-in wiring adapter.
For that I recommend the most reliable, proven brake controller on the market, the Prodigy P3. For the controller and harness you need the following:
- Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195
- Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers # TK93VR
