Yes, thank you. I know law requires and I would have it even if law did not require.  Sorry, I see my sentence made no sense! I meant I didn't know if the Jeep tow package comes with brake controller or if I have to buy one. I haven't taken the Jeep to the local RV dealer who does my maintenance and Jeep had no clue!

Mostly, though, I'd like some feedback from Jeep Cherokee owners who use it to pull an RPod.

Law requires you to use a brake controller. It's not optional on any trailer over 2000lbs, and if a lighter trailer has brakes installed, they must be functional.

Anyone towing with a 2016 or 2017 Cherokee Limited? I see a few Grand Cherokees but no plain old Cherokees! I have new 2017 with tow package -- not sure if package includes brake controller or if I even need one with this car. I needed a 4x4 for our Wisconsin winters but already miss my 2012 Tacoma Prerunner -- it was a perfect TV! Never needed even a sway bar and I pulled in Colorado, all over Florida, and the midwest.

BTW: Suggest when members post pictures of their TVs, they also tell what it is! I am not a good guesser!

Love this forum -- I read it every single morning and have learned so much!
