For a 2021 Chevy Express Van with a factory tow package I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional # 90195. The Tekonsha P3 is the most popular model brake controller on the market. It has 5 storable settings that let you customize the controller for multiple trailers, varying loads or different drivers. You can store display settings, brake type, language preferences, and desired boost level and power levels. It has integrated safeguards to protect your vehicle, trailer, and the controller like the continuous diagnostic check which will alert you to any potential problems. Since you'll already have a 7-way installed you'll just need to find the blue output brake wire which is already ran from the back to the front. It is located under the dash near the emergency brake pedal.

If you do not have the tow package in your 2021 Chevy Express Van then you'll have to install the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat - 10 Gauge Wires # ETBC7 as well.

I have included installation videos for both of these parts to help you in this process.
