I know it’s on here but haven’t been able to find it.
What trailer brake controller for a 2022 overland eco diesel. What all harnesses for plug and play. I’m heading to some mountains soon and might need trailer brakes for the little camper.
Thanks guys

How Jeep can rate a JT to tow 7K and not put in a brake control device or offer one as an option just shows how screwed up they are. In California you have to have brakes on any trailer over 1500 pounds.

I believe you can order a mopar controller that is some sort of Redar hardware. The JT also has a trailer controller plug tucked up under the steering wheel, so they did provide provisions to easily add a controller and not run a bunch of wires.

My '22 JTR has a 7 pin TT plug on the bumper that I could plug my 6K TT into. What a surprise that would be to a non-informed person. Any possible liability for Jeep?.

I would guess the kind of trailer socket style a manufacturer installed would not be a reason anyone could claim they believed the vehicle could tow whatever plugs in the same with it having a two inch receiver if it did we would probably see a big change like no more towing stuff. The majority of liability if not all of it would be on the driver probably an unsafe operation for conditions and anything else that goes with the severity of the accident including reckless driving etc. When in an accident due to insufficient space to stop, going to fast to control the load trailer or not either way it would most likely be considered operator error excessive speed for conditions.
