The pricing on our site is done through an algorithm, and sometimes set by the manufacturer of the product, to stay in competition with other similar sites and does fluctuate; sometimes hourly. That being said, there isn't a whole lot of difference between the Curt # C56407 and the Tekonsha # 118786. I will say, however, that the Tekonsha harnesses do seem to last longer than the Curt harnesses in my experience. That also being said, these are for towing a trailer behind your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.

To set your Jeep up to be flat towed, you will need the Roadmaster # RM-154 if you will not be using a supplemental braking system, or the Roadmaster # RM-15267 if you are going to use a supplemental braking system, which is recommended.

If you will be towing with your Jeep at any point, I will still recommended the Tekonsha # 118786. This will fit most smaller trailers that do not utilize electric brakes.
