Expert Reply:

We can get you set up with a 7-Way trailer connector and a brake controller for your 2008 Jeep Commander, no problem. First, you will need to install # 118408 which will provide the light functions to the 7-Way.

Once that is installed you can then install # ETBC7. This will add the 7-Way, retain a 4-Way connector as well, and include the necessary components to hardwire in a brake controller. For a controller I recommend the P2 # 90885 because it is easy to set up and use and it is reliable.

I have included some links that show and explain these installations for you. The video is on a Liberty but the ETBC7 is the same for all vehicles (with the exception being which brake switch wire to tap into).
