For your 2013 Chevy Silverado all you need is the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 and you'd be set to install the controller in your 2013 Chevy Silverado because 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 that shows this controller installed on a similar 2013 Chevy Silverado.
