Hey Collins, thanks for reaching out. The best way to determine if the Mopar 82216418AA harness will be needed is to check your owner's manual and/or with a dealership.

Based on what I can find in the online version of the manual, the 82216418AA harness would be needed for a 2016 Grand Cherokee, but I still recommend double checking your manual or with a dealership to confirm this.

- Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Braking System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes - Wireless Monitor - Proportional # DM86VR

What's the first trip you have planned once you get your Jeep set up for towing?
