Expert Reply:
Yes, you can. We have brake controller options specifically for use with factory wiring harnesses. My recommendation will consist of following items for your 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500:
Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional, part # 90195
Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers, part # 3016
I really like this brake controller because it can be installed in any direction in the cab of your tow vehicle. It also comes with a custom wiring adapter to plug directly into your vehicle's wiring.
I have included product description links and a video of this brake controller being installed on a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.
