Expert Reply:
The best trailer brake controller option at the best price for the 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 is the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller part # TK90160. The Primus is a proportional controller so it will brake in proportion with your vehicle's brakes. This provides a smoother braking experience compared to a time delayed controller that activates the trailer brakes seconds after the vehicle's brakes which can cause chucking. The Primus also has automatic leveling so it's internal sensor detects braking even when the controller is not mounted perfectly level which makes for a much easier installation and more installation location options. The manual override is an adjustable wheel on the controller so it's easy to access in emergency situations compared to other brake controllers that may have buttons that can wear down easily or get stuck. The Tekonsha brand has been known to last and the Primus is the best quality brake controller you can get for the money.
You will also need Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # 3016 to install the Primus in the 2019 Silverado 2500. The plug and play adapter makes it an easier installation.
