Since the 2nd Generation Chevy Silverado (2007-2014 model year) has bare wires under the dash for connecting an aftermarket brake controller instead of a connector, the pigtail included with the # RED44FR
Redarc Tow Pro Elite would connect directly to the tow package wires under the dash which are located above and to the right of the emergency brake pedal. I've linked to a help article that shows how to do this.

The tow package wires don't connect up to the wires of the pigtail color for color, they attach as follows:

• Red/Black tow package wire connects to Black pigtail wire

• White tow package wire connects to White pigtail wire

• Light Blue/White Striped tow package wire connects to Red pigtail wire

• Dark Blue tow package wire connects to Blue pigtail wire.

I've linked you to an install video for a different controller that shows you exactly where the tow package wires are located and how they connect.
