Recommended Brake Controller for 2023 Chevy Silverado's w/ the Factory Tow Package
Question:
I have a 2023 Chevy Silverado with the tow package and 7-way connector on the bumper. I need a brake controller and I was looking at the Curt Echo but I am not really sure about the security of the plug in one on the bumper. Are there any other options? Not really interested in a traditional in cab one either.

Yes, there is another option to add a brake controller to your Silverado. Since you have the factory tow package, I recommend the Curt Echo In-Line Wireless Brake Controller item # C79DR. The controller plugs in behind your 7-way with included connectors. This will completely eliminate any need to hardware a controller.
The Curt Echo In-Line Wireless Brake Controller item # C79DR works with all of the 2023 Silverado's with the factory tow package.
The Echo In-Line is a proportional brake controller that slows or stops your trailer when your Silverado decelerates. It uses Bluetooth to communicate with your phone so you will never have to worry about losing signal. If your phone dies it automatically uses the default settings you program in.
If you like the reassurance of a manual override button you will want the Manual Override Button for Curt Echo Brake Controller item # C83HR. You can mount it wherever you want it inside your vehicle.
This is a much better option if you are worried about the Echo item # C51180 getting lost or stolen.
I have linked a review video along with a couple of pictures that shows the Echo In-Line item # C79DR installed.
