Question:
Im looking to tow a small uhaul trailer with my 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited without I believe factory tow package. Which of these do I need besides 75193 - 118409? 90195? Etbc7? I have a ball hitch already. Thank you

Expert Reply:
For your 2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited I recommend starting with the Draw-Tite # 75193. Then I recommend using the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118409 which installs behind your tail lights. If your trailer doesn't require electric brakes then you can simply add mount # 18144 and be good to go. Most Uhaul trailers have surge brakes if brakes are required so no brake controller is needed.
If your trailer requires electric brakes, I recommend the same wiring harness and then adding the # ETBC7 and then the Prodigy P3 # 90195 you mentioned for a brake controller. This brake controller with the LCD screen is easy to use, has preset brake boost options and even has vehicle and trailer diagnostic information.
Since you already have the ball mount, that is all you need to complete your system. Uhaul trailers are compatible with the 2 inch diameter hitch ball size.
