• Parts Needed to Add a Brake Controller on a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee With or Without the Tow Package
  Since you don't have the trailer towing package on your 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee you do need to start off by installing a 4-Way connector. I recommend the Tekonsha T-One # 118425 as we have found Tekonsha to be one of the most reliable wiring companies that we carry. To have 7-Way and 4-Way connectors on your Jeep you also need the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7. This connects to the T-One and give you both connections that you need. It also includes everything you need for the 7-Way to...

• Parts Needed to Install 7-Way Traile Wiring Connector on 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  To install a 7-way on your 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee that does not have the tow package you'll need to first start with a 4-way like part # 118425. Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way. If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up the 7-way and install a brake controller.

• How to Make the Tow Ready Trailer Wiring Harness Long Enough to be Used on 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  There is a pretty simple fix for the issue people have where it seems like the harness is too short. What you will need to do is cut the zip-tie that holds the left and right harnesses together and then pull the wires apart as they are bonded together. This will give you plenty of wire to make it to both taillights of your 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. If you check out some of the other reviews you can see that some people had success with this method too.

• Trailer Brake Controller Installation on 2000 Chevy S-10
  Your 2000 Chevy S-10 is not prewired for a brake controller, but that's not a huge deal. The hardwire installation is actually pretty simple. To begin with, you'll need a functional 4 pin trailer connector. If you don't have one already, you can easily install one using part # 118425 which installs inline at the connection between the vehicle's taillight wiring harness and taillight assemblies. For a brake controller, I'm not a huge fan of the Voyager brake controller. Don't get me wrong,...

  I'd be happy to help clear up any confusion; because you do not have the factory tow package you are going to need to install a few parts in order to use an electric brake controller.

• Trailer Hitch to Fit 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8
  Because of the center dual exhaust on the 2008 Grand Cherokee SRT-8, the only trailer hitch we offer is the Curt, part # C11103. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. For a ball mount I recommend a mount like part # C45018. This is a Class l drawbar and it has a 5/8 inch rise or 1-1/4 inch drop. For a pin and clip you can use part # F-4. If you need a 2 inch hitch ball I recommend part # C40018 and for 1-7/8 I recommend part # C40001. For trailer wiring...

• Best Way to Add a 4-Flat and 7-Way Connector to a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee w/ out Tow Package
  I have a couple of wiring harnesses that will add a 7-way and a 4-flat to your 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee. However, since you do not have the towing package the 7-way harness is going to need to be wired in. The first wiring harness you will need is the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness item # 118425. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your Jeep's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. This will provide you with a 4-flat connector....

• How to Iinstall a Brake Controller on a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland
  To install a brake controller on the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee you will most likely have to hard wire. From the information I was able to obtain there is a brake controller connection point, but the connector is not available aftermarket. If a connector is supplied, it will be in one of two locations. The first is under the dash just to the left of the steering column. The second is behind the driver's side kick panel next to the emergency brake pedal. If you find the connector you will...

• Hitch That Fits a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
  Each of the hitches you mentioned, the Curt # 13251 and Draw-Tite # 75338 will fit a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo; the only models they will not fit are the SRT-8. I recommend going with the Draw-Tite # 75338 because it has a tongue weight capacity of 750 lbs, which is 250 lbs more than the Curt hitch. I've added a photo showing how this hitch looks on a Laredo for you to take a look at. To add a 4-way connector you will need wiring harness # 118425 if your Jeep does not have the...

It will connect to the blue wire on the brake controller. You will...

If you have this plug, then you can use our Multi-Tow Trailer Connector, # 74682, instead of the 4-way wiring harness and...

• Does Computer on 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee have to be Reprogrammed to be Able to Tow
  One of my coworkers has a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee which is the same generation as your 2011. When we went to install a 7-Way trailer connector on it the vehicle did have to be reprogrammed by a Jeep dealer. The Jeep should have the wiring there to add a 7-Way but it would not be fully functional unless the BCM was flashed by a dealership. You will not have to do this if you were to add a 4-Way trailer connector. If you plan on doing some towing in addition to the trailer hitch, # C13065,...
