Hey Casey, so for your 2017 Jeep Wrangler you're going to first need to add a 4 pole with the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118416.
From here, you'll then need to add a 7-way with the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7. With all this added you'll be all geared up to pull a trailer with brakes, the last thing you'd need to do is pick out a brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195.
