Easiest Trailer Brake Controller to Use for 2018 GMC Acadia With Factory 7-Way
Question:
I have a 2018 GMC Acadia. I need a brake controller and have the 7-way plug at the back. I would like something that works well but really don't want to mess with a bunch of wires or anything so the easier to use the better. What is the best brake controller for me?

The easiest trailer brake controller to use with your 2018 GMC Acadia is the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 because all it requires you to do is plug it in to your Acadia's 7-way and download an app on your smartphone.
If you take a look at the accompanying photo you can see the Echo installed. This is the perfect brake controller for anyone that does not want to deal with wiring adapters or have a brake controller take up space inside their vehicle. Set up is really simple with the app; if you take a look at the linked video you can see how easy it is to get up and running with this brake controller.
The Echo # C51180 is a proportional brake controller so it will respond to the deceleration of your Acadia, is made in the USA and comes with a lifetime warranty.
