Question:

Looking for a Tekonsha brake controller adapter for a 2013 Chevy Suburban 1500 LTZ. I saw one on your website for a 13 Tahoe but wanted to make sure itd work for me.

Neither the 2013 Chevy Tahoe nor the 2013 Suburban have an under-dash connection port for installation of a trailer brake controller such as the Prodigy P3 # 90195. Both vehicles do however have the necessary wiring already run. The 2013 Traverse with a factory 7-way DOES have such a port under the dash and uses part # 3026-P for any Tekonsha controller.

You can refer to the linked article for specific details about brake controller installation in your Suburban. This article includes clear color photos that show you where to find the OEM wiring, how to connect it to the 4 pigtail leads on the controller and how to make the final connections under the hood.
