Expert Reply:

First you will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C74DR for your 2023 Jeep Gladiator. This receiver fits all models as long as you do not have a diesel engine. It is rated for use with a weight distribution and sway hitch system to make your drive safer.

You will need the Curt T-Connector # C56407 and 7-Way Wiring # ETBC7L to give yourself a 7-Way connector on your Gladiator. The Curt will connect to the tail lights on your Gladiator and the 7-Way wiring will accept the 4-way from the Curt and give you a charge line. This charge line will maintain the battery on your travel trailer camper and also power the Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller # C51180. This controller is controlled by your smart phone using the Curt Echo app.

Finally you should use a weight distribution hitch like the Fastway e2 # FA92-00-0800. This hitch is rated for trailers up to 8,000lbs with a tongue weight between 400-800lbs. I can help you verify if this hitch is correct for your travel trailer if you let me know exactly what you have. If it is in your weight range you will need a 2-5/16" Ball # EQ91-00-6100 and a 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 to install it on the Fastway hitch.
