Brake Controller Recommendation for 2017 Chevy Traverse with Tow Package
Question:
I want to purchase a brake controller for a 2017 Traverse. It has the trailer package and it came with wiring harness. One side has a plug and the other terminates into 5 wires. Do I need to purchase a brake controller with the adapter or can I just use the harness I have?

Expert Reply:
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.
All you need to install this in your 2017 Chevy Traverse with the tow package is the part # 3026-P which is custom fit for your vehicle.
