The Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller part # C24VV with Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers part # C51459 is an excellent option for a 2018 Jeep Cherokee with tow package. The brake controller will mount on the dash within reach and then the custom adapter will plug into the rear of the controller and then the tow package port on the vehicle which is located underneath the dash, just to the left of the steering wheel, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. That said, these are not as easy to find as most people assume so it may require some extra digging around but it will be there.
