Your 2018 Chevy Colorado does have brake controller wiring to allow an install of one to be as simple as possible but it does not actually have a brake controller so you'd need one. Our Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller # 90885 is a really great option that's reliable, proportional, and priced great.
The brake controller wiring on your truck is present under the dash which you'd wire the controller to. I attached an install video of a similar brake controller installed on a Colorado like yours.
