It is possible to connect a brake controller like the Primus to a vehicle with a 24 volt system but you will need a relay to do so. I attached a picture that shows how the relay would wire to your vehicle as well as a help article that covers how to accomplish this as well.
The brakes will still be a 12 volt setup.
