2020 Jeep Gladiator Trailer Brake Controller Will Not Be Offered Standard or Optional
Is the Jeep Gladiator’s trailer brake controller no longe offered.
A trailer brake controller will not be offered on the 2020 Jeep Gladiator. This is an important piece of news because Jeep initially stated that a trailer brake controller would be available as a Mopar accessory (see Mopar image below). However, the images, pricing about the option, and all additional information about the trailer brake controller have been removed from the Jeep’s online configurator for the Gladiator truck.
Jeep Information Center provided the following statement. “A Trailer Brake Controller is not offered on the 2020 Jeep Gladiator lineup as standard or optional equipment. As such, we would certainly encourage customers to contact a reputable RV Upfitter for any questions concerning the aftermarket installation of such a feature.” – – FCA Representative
A few months ago, we presented a video featuring the Jeep Gladiator’s configurator. On it, we noted the optional trailer brake controller and even showed you an image of it. Oddly, Jeep has completely removed the option and image from the configurator.
Jeep public relations (PR) highlighted the Jeep Gladiator’s excellent tow rating of 7,650 lbs. This was a huge part of the marketing at its launch and we even have a first drive review video of it towing a 6,000 lbs boat. The Jeep Gladiator’s optional towing package, as well as the Maximum towing package on the Sport S are still available.
We will keep an eye on this story and see what Jeep decides to do next.
