Recommended brake Controller And Plug-In Adapter For 2015 Chevrolet 1500 With Tow Factory Package
Question:
i have a 2015 Chevy Silverado 1/2 ton 4 wheel drive. I was looking at brake controllers and wondering what exactly you mean with factory tow package. I have the tow package, but no brake controller or wiring harness for it.

The towing package can mean different things for vehicles. Your 2015 Silverado 1500 with the tow package probably includes an upgraded engine oil cooler, a transmission cooler, a trailer hitch, 7-way at the rear of the truck, and automatic locking rear differential on non Z71 models.
The brake controller I recommend is the prodigy P3, part # 90195. This is one of our most popular because it is easy to install and operate.
The plug-n adapter for the brake controller you need is part # 3016. One end simply plugs into the brake controller port under the dash to the left by the parking brake under a box. You just remove the lid for the box and the brake controller adapter will plug into the port inside the box. I have attached a link to an installation video for a brake controller and adapter you can check out.
