Best Brake Controller Recommendation for 2018 Cadillac Escalade

Question

Question:

What brake controller would you recommend for my 2018 Cadillac Escalade? I'd prefer something that is easy to use and I won't end up kicking every time I get in out of the vehicle.

The brake controller I recommend for your 2018 Cadillac Escalade is the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR because this brake controller senses the amount of braking you are applying on your vehicle and applies a proportional amount on the trailer brakes. It also has a very small knob that gets mounted basically anywhere you want on your dash or console. I attached a picture of what it will look like installed.

To install it all you need is the custom fit install harness part # 331-TPH-010 which plugs into the back of the controller and then to the port underneath your dash.
