The tow package wiring is located under the dash above where your left knee would be as you were sitting at the wheel. Look for a wiring harness with a white tag on it. GM no longer has a connector, you'd just need to wire the controller directly to the tow package wiring.

The red tow package wire supplies 12-volt power, and connects to the black wire on your brake controller. The light blue tow package wire attaches to the red wire on the controller, the dark blue tow package wire connects to the blue controller wire, and the white tow package wire connects to the white controller wire.

We have an install guide online and an installation video that you might find helpful, I will provide links below. The install guide and video show the install on a Sierra or Silverado pick-up, but the procedure would be identical for your Tahoe.

If you haven't already decided on a brake controller, I can highly recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885. The P2 is very easy to use, which helps make it one of our most popular brake controllers.

Hey Gregory, thanks for reaching out! I really like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver #e55ZR as well - I know you'll be happy with it! When it comes to wiring, a 4-Way is used for basic trailer lighting, but since you'll be towing a trailer…
