Weight Distribution and Brake Controller Recommendation for 2019 Jeep Cherokee 2018 Little Guy Max

I looked up the specs of a 2018 Little Guy Max and found that it's rated for up to 3,800 lbs in total trailer weight. Which means it's tongue weight will be right around 400 to 500 lbs. For a weight distribution perfect for that the Reese Strait-Line part # RP66082 would be your best option as it has a tongue weight range of 200-600 lbs and features only sway control that works to fight sway before it starts. For a hitch ball you'd need part # A-90.

You will want a brake controller too. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.

To install this will only require the harness part # 3014-P and you'd be set.

Thank you, and if the tow vehicle becomes a Nissan 2017 Pathfinder with tow package… Will the specs change?

Only thing that would change would be the install harness for the brake controller. It would be # 3050-P instead.
