  If the Jeep already has a built-in brake controller, then no.

  Two Google AI searches say 2025 Grand Cherokee does not have a factory installed Trailer Brake Controller or even offer one as a stand-alone or within package option (one search says it does).

  
  

  However, Build A Jeep web page does not list or reference any TBC as a standard feature or option.

  
  

  However, double check your owners manual.

  Our 2017 Cherokee had a port in the wiring harness where the Tekonsha brake controller we purchased plugged in. It looks like the 2025 has the same socket for a controller.
