I tow a camper trailer with brakes with my 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 and I need a brake controller to activate them. What should I get?

For a brake controller for your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 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 set up. 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.
All you'd need to install the controller is the custom install harness part # 3016 which fits the connector you have under the dash of your Silverado. The install video I attached shows the P3 installed in a similar 2015 Silverado using the # 3016 as well.
