Features to know about

Installs Without Cutting or Splicing: Plug-In T-Connector Design

Wiring a trailer can be a hassle, but this harness keeps it simple. The Curt T-Connector plugs right into the factory connectors behind the tail lights. No wire cutting or splicing needed. It’s a straightforward plug-in setup that gets you towing faster and avoids messing with the vehicle’s original wiring.

Handles Trailer Lights Safely: Powered Converter with Direct Battery Line

Modern vehicles use sensitive electronics, so this harness includes a powered converter that isolates the trailer circuits. It draws power directly from the vehicle’s battery through a separate hot lead, protecting the factory system while controlling your trailer’s running, brake, and turn signals. That direct 12-volt connection ensures reliable lighting every time.

Ready for Basic Towing Needs: 4-Flat Trailer Connector

Once installed, you get a standard 4-flat connector to power your trailer’s signal lights—running, turn, and brake. It’s the common setup for small and mid-size trailers and works seamlessly with accessories like 4-to-7-way adapters when you’re ready to tow more complex setups.

Clean Setup Without Factory Tow Package: No Extra Modules Required

Even if your vehicle didn’t come with a tow package, this harness has you covered. The plug-and-lead design provides everything needed for proper trailer lighting without adding extra modules or tapping into existing circuits. It gives you full lighting function while keeping the install clean and hidden behind the panels.

by:

Very easy to install!



by:

Works great easy to install.



by:

Package was in the same bad as hitch, but everything was there, so what do I care. I’ve been using solder seal shrink wrap but end connectors. Heat gun melts solder and shrinks wrap. Routing power wire to battery is not for the faint of heart, but I knew what I was getting into. Service was fantastic. Ordered Tuesday and had it on Thursday!



by:

Very easy installation and works great with my little boat trailer and utility trailer. Little challenging feeding the power wire to the battery but got it done.



by:

Have not installed yet



by:

Order came faster than expected. 2 boxes both in good shape. No problem I will revise if anything comes up during installation.



by:

Works perfectly



by:

Directions were not very clear and tech assistance was wrong but after laying it all out by color we got it figured out



by:

Almost plug and play! No need to cut any factory wires which was a huge plus, as well as an incredible video walkthrough that makes install seamless. The only wiring you need to do is for the power wire, but all wiring and connections are included. Very easy install.



by:

Had this installed by a professional body shop that had proper tools and know how. Tool them a little over 2 hours to install hitch and wiring. This particular wring configuration has to have a hot wire run to battery area. Excellent product, quick shipping and fair price.



by:

Fit and finish are top quality. Everything fits amd works as it should.



by:

Works well, installation was more work than expected but we got it done with no problems, just a little more time than expected.



by:

Works like a charm. Was easy to install following the video instructions



by:

Plugged right in. etrailer’s DIY videos were a great help.



by:

It was pretty much plug and play except for for running wire up under hood for power. The drawtite hitch I will be using has a provision for trailer plug mount, but to get the plug to the provision via the shortest path from the taillight caused a concerning amount of tension, so would recommend adding a couple of inches to the four pin connector to give a little more flexibility in placing the connector on the hitch assembly. This is and the lack of shrink tubing to waterproof the butt connectors is the only reason for 4 stars.



by:

Works as described and the install videos were an amazing step by step. If I could give 4.75 stars i would because the power wire was short about 6 feet and I followed the video to a T.



by:

Difficult to run the power wire but worked excellent



by:

The quality is great! And all the parts were correct and arrived fast!
Install took a little longer than 2.5 hours as my husband and son had to redo the wiring. They did follow the video which helped a lot!

Your husband and son did a great install! What are you going to be towing?



by:

Install videos were very helpful.



by:

Works great. Exceptional step by step video showing you exactly how to install it.



by:

The install was easy following the videos. The wiring was the most difficult part, had to run a wire from engine bay to hitch. If anything was a little lacking, was the wiring video. But overall a great product.



by:

Top quality items. Good delivery time. Installation videos help. Thanks.



by:

I have not installed yet but have used Curt T-connector wiring harness in 3 of my cars in the past and never had a problem with them.



by:

The T-Connector is was a super easy install when installing with a hitch because the rear bumper cover is removed. The only thing missing from the kit was enough wire to run from the rear of the vehicle to the front and about 30 more zip ties. Do not let that kill the deal. This is a must for anyone adding a hitch to their Grand Cherokee.



by:

I installed this plug and play” wiring harness on a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. The connectors to the taillights were exact. The only real effort involved was routing the power line to the battery which, in the scheme of things, could have been much more difficult. Installation took about 1 hour from start to finish. Very pleased with the design and installation. The videos on the website are comprehensive and offered good insight.

  • Will Draw-Tite Hitch Work With 20 Inch Spare on 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Summit
    Hi Joe; just like the Curt # C96NR, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT42GR does not allow for a 20" spare tire. However, we do have the Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver # BLU46HR. I just reached out to Blue Ox and they said it will accommodate the larger spare. This fits the 2021-2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L so you can install it on your 2021 Summit L. Are you going to use the hitch for towing? If so, you will also need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C27BR....

  • What Hitch Sticks Out Through the Bumper on a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
    You're looking for the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C96NR. This custom fit hitch mounts behind your 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee's rear bumper cover and can be completely hidden when you're not towing or hauling an accessory. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C96NR is a class III hitch with a 7,500 lbs towing capacity and a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight. It bolts to your Jeep with included hardware and does not require any drilling to install. I have attached a couple of pictures below along with...

  • What 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness For 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
    Hi Tyler, From what I can find you got the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C55124 which is not a fit for a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, it is a fit for some Jeep Wranglers up to 2018. Instead, the correct 4-way wiring harness for your 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L (assuming you do not have the factory tow package) is the following: - Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C27BR

  • Does the Curt Wiring Harness for a 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Require Flashing from a Dealership?
    Hey Justin. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C27BR will not require you to go to the dealer and get your Jeep's computer system flashed. The Curt item # C27BR is custom fit for the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. It's going to plug in directly behind your tail lights and send the signals through them to the 4-Way connector. It does not interact with your Jeep's computer systems. I've linked the installation instructions below along with a video we made so you can see how...

    Yes, it will, however you're going to lose the ability to store your spare tire beneath your 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe. The Curt Hitch item # C96NR does indeed fit the Anniversary Edition but along with every other hitch, including the Mopar 82219041AA, none of them leave room for the full size 20" spare. The Curt Hitch item # C96NR is custom fit for the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe it fits all models except for the Trailhawk so your Anniversary Edition model will not cause a compatibility...

  • Trailer Hitch & 7-Way With 4-Way For 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
    I'd love to tell you yes, you can use the Hopkins part you mentioned, but that will not work for your 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. That's a plug-in replacement 7-way and 4-way, and isn't compatible with wiring on your Jeep. There isn't a similar look but you can add a 7-way that has a 4-way plug on the side to your Grand Cherokee L with the following: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C96NR - Curt Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C27BR - Universal Installation Kit for...

  • Bolt On Tow Hitch Package for 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Overland
    Hey Travis! For a bolt-on hitch that fits your 2021 Grand Cherokee Overland I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e39ZV. I'm not 100% sure what you mean by removing accessories, but you will have to temporarily remove the bumper to install the hitch. The same is true for any hitch that fits your Grand Cherokee. Also, make sure your spare is 18" or smaller. Looks like the Overland comes standard with an 18" spare unless you got larger wheels and tires. Since you mentioned...

    Hey Dave, congrats on your new Jeep! I checked what the "B" prep group is because I am not familiar and it looks like it already comes with a trailer hitch. Or at least that's what makes the most sense since the "B" prep group adds a trailer hitch camera, so you can monitor your trailer connection. If for some reason it doesn't come with a hitch, the you can use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C96NR but please note that the full size spare that comes with the "B" prep group won't be...

    Hey Melinda, the etrailer hitch part # e39ZV that you referenced is going to take about 2 hours to install. Then for trailer you'd want the Curt kit part # C27BR which would probably take about an hour to install. Are you planning on doing the install yourself or having someone do it for you?

  • Which Trailer Towing Harness To Go With For A 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Without Towing Package
    Hi Sean! Out of the two wiring harnesses listed for your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, I recommend going with the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C27BR. Reason being, it's plug and play and the other harness (the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236) is a hardwire/splice in harness. Either of these will work perfectly fine for you, but the # C27BR is going to be a lot easier to do. It snaps in behind your...

  • What Hitch, Wiring, Brake Controller, and Ball Mount do I Need for My 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
    Hello Al, Welcome to etrailer, I'm glad you found us! Of the three hitch options, the Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver # BLU46HR does have the highest tongue weight rating. I would still double check your owner's manual to see what Jeep says your Grand Cherokee can handle. It's pretty common for an aftermarket hitch to be rated higher than the vehicle itself, and you'll always want to follow the lowest-rated component in your towing setup. As of today, 08/18/2026, I would go with # BLU46HR....

  • Difference Between Curt and Draw-Tite Hitch for 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
    Hi Jose; the slight curve on the # DT42GR is just how Draw-Tite decided to design the hitch. The same is true for the straight cross tube of the Curt # C96NR. The different designs don't really have an advantage over each other and they have the same towing capacity. Both will be hidden behind the bumper cover so appearance isn't really a concern either. If I were to recommend one it would be the Curt. Curt tends to add a thicker powder coat so it holds up better over time. If you plan...

Either way, without the factory tow package you will need to install a 4-way and then a universal 7-way. There are no plug and play options for an aftermarket 7-way. If you have the regular Grand Cherokee you can use the # C62VR and if you have the Grand Cherokee L the # C27BR for the 4-way.

For example, the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 is recommended for vehicles with or without the tow package. It comes with the 4-wire pigtail which is necessary for installation. Vehicles without the tow package will need to install the trailer wiring kits # C27BR and # ETBC7 in order to use a brake controller.
