Hello, neighbors. It's Brad here at etrailer. And today, we're taking a look and installing the REDARC Tow-Pro Brake Controller on a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Now the REDARC is available in two different configurations and they're both very similar. But if you are towing one to two axles, you're gonna wanna pick up the Tow-Pro Liberty. And if you are towing one to three axles, you're gonna wanna pick up the Tow-Pro Elite.
Now, regardless of which REDARC you pick up, they're both gonna share the same benefit of not being your typical brake controller. And when you think brake controller, normally you think a big, chunky piece that's gonna be down here to where you can hit your knees on it every time you get in the vehicle. And they're generally pretty unsightly. It's not the case with REDARC. They've done a great job of making something that's equally as usable, but also a lot more OEM, lot cleaner, and way less of a footprint.
And you can see this is all controlled just by the turn on the knob. You still have your manual override by pressing and you still can adjust your gain. Now you don't have your fancy screen like you would on a normal break controller, but you still get all the uses of one in a very nice package and it keeps your interior looking really good. Now you're easily able to adjust your gain. You can see the numbers here on the knob and you can adjust accordingly.
That way, you can determine based on the weight of your trailer how much you need this to proportionally brake. Now, if you wanna manual override, no problem. You'll just simply push the button and you still have that manual override function. You can also go into a user controlled and that way you can apply it to wherever you want. That way, it's not proportionally braking to whatever your vehicle's doing just by the quick or double tap of the button.
Now we installed the Liberty today and with the factory tow package, that's the great part about this as well. There's no wire splicing. You can simply pick up the harness that goes along with your vehicle using our fit guide. And that way, it is truly plug and play. You can have this installed extremely easily and they're both gonna install exactly the same, except for you are gonna be drilling a little extra hole for the LED light as they are a little bit different between the two. But other than that, everything's gonna be exactly the same. Now this is definitely something that you can do in your driveway or garage, especially with it being plug and play. You'll be able to knock this out within under 30 minutes, pretty easily. So you are gonna be pulling some panels off and that's gonna be the trickiest part, just making sure that you have clearance and zip tying up some wires. And other than that, it's super easy. So I'm gonna walk you through it. That way, you can get yours installed. Now the REDARC is a pretty easy installation. And one of the first things that we need to do is determine where our plug is. So if you have that factory tow package, we'll be looking for a plug that this will go into and this will go into our module. We can figure out where to mount that later, but we also need to determine where we wanna put our brake controller. So the REDARC's footprint is gonna look similar to just this knob. It's just gonna be mounted somewhere around this area. And there are a few options, but honestly, it seems like the best for this is gonna be right about here. That's gonna give us clearance behind there and it's still gonna be easily accessible and you'll be able to see it illuminated with that number up top to know exactly where your gain is set. So we're gonna start by pulling some of the panels out so we can gain access, not only to our plug, but also to be able to mount up our controller. So we're gonna be taking off a few panels. And throughout all of this, using a plastic trim panel tool is really nice because it's not gonna mar up the plastic and leave any marks long term. So we are gonna pry apart this side here. That's gonna allow us not only to see a little bit better, but also just to kind of gain access to the rest of the panels to come off. So we hav
Great step by step video that made the install on my 2019 GC Trailhawk super easy. Thanks!
Awesome, we're glad the video helped you out!

Super easy install. On our 2020 Jeep grand cherokee overland. FYI, the plastic panel at 11:02 in your video is very slightly different but still almost the exact same spot you installed.
Removal and re-install of the plastic panels that have tabs that are behind the weather stripping is 100% easier if you simply pull back the weather stripping at those locations.
Thank you!

better lighting was needed for the in-dash spaces
We'll pass the feedback to the video team, thank you for letting us know!
