To install a brake controller in your 2018 Chevy Suburban only requires the install harness part # 3016 which is a confirmed fit. It plugs into the brake controller port under your dash.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.
