Good choice, the Redarc # RED44FR Tow Pro Elite is a great brake controller option.

Really, the only thing you'll need is the controller itself. The 2013 Tahoe doesn't have the connector under the dash, just a bundle of blunt ended wires for the tow package. The # RED44FR includes a wiring pigtail that would connect directly to this wiring as follows:

• Red Wire from controller connects to light blue/white striped wire or orange wire in tow package harness
• Black wire from controller connects to red tow package wire
• White wire from controller connects to white tow package wire
• Blue wire from controller attaches to dark blue tow tow package wire

The tow package wiring is located above and to the left of the brake pedal as shown in the provided photo. The harness will have a white tag taped to it.

You can either mount the control knob directly through the dash, or use a mounting bezel like # 331-TPSI-001 to dress things up a bit.
