If possible, always try to buy the vehicle with the factory tow package. I know that certain models, like the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk give you a better suspension and aux transmission cooler when you do and the added bonus of not having to pay for install like this.
where did you get the wiring harness that you use in the video? great video and looks easy to install. i'm going to watch this video again when i install this on my grand cherokee.
Exactly, this video is for prior to 2019 and the title should be changed. I also have 2019 Limited 4x4. And a lot of people don't realize that you can buy the programmer (Micropod II) online and activate the wiring yourself after installing the OEM wiring harness that also includes a fuse box replacement. Something that I highly recommend as it also allows the owner to be able to diagnose any issues (mechanical, electrical, et cetera) in the future. I personally am going to add the OEM tow package to my JEEP myself as it looks much better being molded into the rear fascia (replaces the rear bumper) and also sets higher maintaining clearance levels. Part numbers are 82216005AB and 82212180AD. It's a Jeep thing.
The Dealership has to hook the vehicle up to their expensive equipment and turn on the module, plus install a socket which we sell off the wall for $30 depending on your area. This gives you access to a 7way socket. Our video is a quick connect giving you access to a 4flat wiring for U-Haul trailers and other light utility and boat trailers. If you need a 7way socket for an RV one of our local Hitch professionals can hard wire in these functionalities.
A good video but that music drove me nuts!
great video the stealership wants 275 dlls to activate my oem trailer wireing harness out of there mind's

Getting an aftermarket hitch in wiring is almost always cheaper than the factory option. And the weight ratings are typically better!
Great ground! ⚡️
So you did this because this is an alternative to not going to the dealership to get it flashed?

I have a duel exhaust system which makes mounting the converter box hard. Where should I mount the converter box?
At 2:42 you can see the wiring harness by the side. I would zip-tie the box to that so it doesn't get close to the exhaust.
I have a 2019 Limited there is no factory wiring harness even available underneath, I was told that the eliminated it after 2018.

what is the name of the wiring harness
Tekonsha 118727. You can order one here - Uhaulhitches.com
will is part # work with the 2017 also ?
Pulling the wiring harness up through the taillights is awful. Attach a string or shoelace to pull it through for anyone having trouble!
I did the same thing (my son's suggestion...he's the smart one).
So if its already there why do they want 800$ for wire harness at stealership.
