Congrats on the new truck! The best brake controller for your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 is the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite item # RED63RR. This is a proportional brake controller that automatically adjusts your trailer's braking based on the deceleration of your Silverado.

The Tow-Pro Elite item # RED63RR has a unique installation method where you can mount the control knob on your dash or console and hide the main unit out of sight. It is perfect for towing as you do not have to worry about banging your knee on a bulky brake controller.

This brake controller and harness will install inside your Silverado without cutting or splicing wires using the Plug-In Wiring Adapter item # 3064-P.

I have attached a picture below that will help you locate the wiring harness needed to plug in the adapter.
