Question:
I have a 2021 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Lux 4x4 with a factory installed tow package. I just installed the Curt TriFlex Next Trailer Brake Controller with the harness that matched my vehicle. My question, is there a fuse that needs to replaced that has a higher amp - 20 vs 30? If so which fuse is it? Thanks for your reply! Regards

Thanks for reaching out, Mark!
The Curt TriFlex NEXT Trailer Brake Controller w/ Custom Harness # C98GV you purchased (thank you by the way) for your 2021 Jeep Cherokee Latitude shouldn't require any kind of fuse or relay upgrade, as the vehicle is already built for towing a trailer and utilizing a brake controller.
The only time something would need to be upgraded is if you were installing the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 and hardwiring everything in.
