You will also need the Tekonsha plug-in wiring adapter for your Sierra. One of the things that separates this brake controller from many of the others that I personally really like, is your ability to customize it to different size trailers that you might have. What I mean by that is, if you hit this top right button and hold it down, it'll pull up a menu that has five different trailer settings. For example, if you have a smaller trailer, you can save all your settings to that trailer, and say if you have a larger one, you can adjust those settings for that trailer, and save it under trailer two, and so on and so forth. more
