  • Is There a Plug and Play Brake Controller Adapter for 2018 GMC Acadia
  • I have a solution for you, but there is not a plug for a brake controller that would allow for a plug and play installation on the 2018 GMC Acadia Denali, so even if you've got the factory trailer connector you would need to hard wire any controller in.
