For a brake controller I really like the Prodigy P2 part # 90885 as it's basically the gold standard for brake controllers. It is super reliable, gives you the best braking performance, and has yet to be improved upon basically. It would wire directly to the wires you found under the dash of your 2023 Chevy Suburban as well.
