Brake Controller Recommendation to Replace Integrated Controller of 2013 Chevy Silverado
Question:
I own a 2013 Chevy Silverado, HD2500, with built in factory trailer brake control. Is there a way to disable, and wire around that factory system? Can I install an aftermarket controller even tho my truck has a factory controller? Thanks for your input and advise.

Check out the FAQ article I attached that details exactly what you will need to do to bypass your factory controller in your 2013 Chevy Silverado. It's pretty easy to do actually. The link is down below the product links.
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.
