Though for your vehicle there will be no plug and play brake controller options available there are ways to install a brake controller in your vehicle. First you will need The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118315 unless you already have a 4 flat harness installed. The harness plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located beneath your vehicle, along the driver's-side frame rail.

Next you need to make the 4 flat into a 7 round using The Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat - 10 Gauge Wires # ETBC7. This will give you both options to tow a trailer with either a 7 round plug or a 4 flat connector. The adapter will also have 4 extra wires that will attach to the brake controller plug. The functions of the 4 wires are below:

Black - 12 Volt Hot Lead
Blue - Electric Brake
White - Ground
Yellow - Reverse Lights

Finally The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller - 2 Braking Modes - 1 to 3 Axles - Proportional # RED44FR can be installed with the splice in adapter to the 4 wires above. The controller has a 3-axis accelerometer that measures deceleration in all directions for precise braking and smooth, uniform stopping action. The main unit installs out of sight with The Mounting Bracket # RE67FR being sold separately.
