Recommended Brake Controller for a 2018 GMC Acadia

Question:

I really want to add the Redarc Elite to my 2018 GMC Acadia Denali with tow package so I can tow a No Boundaries 16.8 camper. Would this be a compatible setup?

Yes, it would! The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller item # RED44FR comes with everything you will need to get it installed on your 2018 GMC Acadia Denali. I did check for a plug in adapter and GM stopped putting in the ports after the 2017 model year. You'll need to use the included universal wiring harness to complete the installation.

Right on! What is the overall diameter of the knob, and the length of the knob housing that goes behind the dash? I need to make sure I have the right clearance.

@JohnI The control knob dimensions are 2-3/8" long x 3/4" wide x 7/8" tall. To install the Knob on the item # RED44FR, you will need 1-3/4" of depth, a space 9/16" wide, and 3/4" tall; the size of the hole required is 25/64". The space behind the knob is 1-3/4"
