What trailer wiring harness do I need can I get for the liberty? I have a 2004. I don’t plan on pulling any major but I’d like to have the option for something that can use trailer brakes. Do I need a 4-pin or a 7 pin? Can I set it up for both? If possible I’d like a plug in version but I can also splice wires myself so long as I can clearly figure out what’s what.

I’d also like to have it permanently mounted to the hitch and not some wires that are tucked inside the Jeep and then just pulled out when I need it.

most small trailers take the 4 pin flat plug, and go to etrailers, good prices and a good product also it just plugs into the KJ rear wiring no cutting of wires

so can the 4-pin set up control trailer brakes? Or do I need a 7-pin to do that?

I bought this exact harness from this ebay vendor and it was really easy to install and works great. It was the cheapest I could find. It came in a Reece Towpower container, I bet most 4 pin plug-and-play setups are made in the same place.

Get a 7 pin harness.

You can always install a 7 pin to 4 pin converter for any trailer, but not the other way around.
