  • Towing with the Jeep Cherokee: Install a Brake Controller!
    I added a brake controller to the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk for towing..
    Our 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with tow package is rated to tow 4500lbs with a hitch rate of 450 lbs. The tow package includes transmission cooler, oil cooler, prewired for brake controller and sway detection. It has 4 pen and 7 pin wire plugs with a class 3 hitch. The trailer we purchased has a weight of 2180 lbs and tongue weight of 254 lbs. After I loaded the camper, I measured the tongue weight at 368 lbs. Any weight over 3500 lbs requires a weight distribution hitch. I weighed the items loaded and we are under 2800 lbs(estimate). I measured the distances from hitch to ground, fenders to ground, before and after adding trailer weight to hitch.
    (Note: 2 inch lift installed with 265 65 r17 nitto ridge grappler tires.)

    We added a brake controller for a new trailer. Stay tuned for the trailer reveal.

    I have a 2021 Cherokee Trailhawk with tow package exactly like the one in the vid and shocked it does not have a brake controller from the factory. Getting ready to purchase a tandem axle trailer for our side-by-side and was curious what people are doing for one. This helps a lot! Thanks for the vid.

    Did you have to do anything besides plug it into the connection under the dash?
