Expert Reply:
For your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 3 Axles - Proportional # RED44FR. This is a high quality, proportional brake controller that can be mounted anywhere in your truck.
It has a 3-axis accelerometer and uses active calibration technology to continuously monitor your travel direction and adjust accordingly. The control knob typically mounts on the dash and allows for quick and easy adjustments. The manual override activates with the press of the knob, and it uses LED lights for diagnostics.
You will also want to get the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers # 3064-P for installation.
I have attached some review and installation videos for your reference.
