Brake Controller and Install Recommendation for 2011 Chevy Silverado

Question:

I have a 2011 GMC SERRIA Truck and need a brake controller for it. Have a 26foot Travel Trailer that weighs #6480 lbs. Having trouble finding one for this model. What would you recommend and also help with the wiring and connection. Thanks

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. 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.

When installing a brake controller like the # 90885 in your 2011 Chevy Silverado no plug is present under the dash, but the needed wires are already run. You will connect the brake controller wiring with the vehicle wiring already present under the dash.

I attached an install video and help article for you to check out that show how this is done.
