Expert Reply:
One of the most well reviewed, highly rated, an easy to use brake controllers we have for your 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195. The controller has 5 storable settings that let you customize the controller for multiple trailers, varying loads or different drivers. It also has integrated safeguards to protect your vehicle, trailer and the controller. In order to install this brake controller on your truck, I recommend using the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # 3016 as this will be a direct plug and play harness that will not require you to hardwire any circuits.
I have attached a review video of the controller and an installation video of the harness so you can see where the factory plug is located.
