Brake Controller Recommendation for 2015 Chevy Traverse

Question:

Where would you recommend mounting the controller? And how difficult is it to connect? Also how to access the wires that run to the back of the car? Thank you

Your 2015 Chevy Traverse should have a 7-way trailer wiring connector present at the rear of it. If it does not you'd need the part # 118271 to give you one that taps into the factory wiring. Then all you'd need is a wiring harness designed for your vehicle like the part # 3026-P.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. 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. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.

We had the chance to install a brake controller in a 2012 Chevy Traverse which is the same generation as your 2015 and we chose to mount it just to the right of the steering wheel near where your right leg would be. I attached the install video for that as well as a picture I took from the instructions.
