How Does Brake Controller Install in 2017 GMC Canyon

Question:

I have an explorer xp [previously installed in a nissan frontier] I need to install it in a 2017 GMC Canyon [pre-wired]. BTW, i bought the Carl tow receiver from you guys three weeks ago, and it went in quite nicely. I digress, Can this explor xp directly plug into the canyon or do I need to order a different harness from you guys?

The brake controller you referenced is the Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller # 39510 which can easily install in your 2017 GMC Canyon. Your vehicle does not have a plug-in style connector though to install the controller. Instead brake controller wire to the brake controller wiring that's under the dash. If you check out the install video I attached to this page you'll see how a similar brake controller installs in a GMC Canyon like yours.
