Is there a Brake Controller that Fits in the Dash Pocket on a 2015 Chevy Silverado
Question:
If you were to use the PowerTrac # 39523 it does have all of its controls at the front where they would be accessible. Since this is a time delay control it doesn't have to be mounted in any specific orientation. This controller is 3 inches wide, 5 inches long, and 1-1/4 inches tall. If you can tell me the amount of space in the pocket on your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 I can determine if something else might work better. In addition to the brake controller the only other part you will need is wiring harness # 3016 to plug the controller into the truck. I linked a video showing how this harness installs on a similar truck that takes the same harness.
