Expert Reply:
In order to install a brake controller on a 2011 GMC Terrain, you will need a few items. First, you will need to have a 4-Way trailer connector installed on the vehicle, # 118494, unless it already has one.
Next, you will need a 4 and 7 way installation kit, # ETBC7. This will provide a 7-Way connector and all of the wiring to install it and a brake controller.
Last, you will need the actual brake controller. I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885 because it is easy to set up and easy to use. I have included links to that will explain the installation of the ETBC7, the 4-Way wiring, and the brake controller for you.
