Brake Controller and Install Harness Recommendation for 2005 Chevy Suburban

Question:

Hello. I have a 2005 Suburban 1500 with a factory tow package. I am towing a pop-up trailer that has trailer brakes. Id like to start using a brake controller for this 2,600 empty weight trailer. I am overwhelmed by choices. Can you recommend a basic and affordable option for me? Any guidance you have would be excellent.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. The price for this controller is a bit more than the others but it's performance makes up for it easily. It will be the last brake controller you ever buy.

To install it all you need is the part # 3015-P and to use the install video I attached as a guide.
