Expert Reply:
The brake controller I recommend for a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller item # RED44FR with the Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers item # 3064-P. The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller is one of the only brake controllers on the market with both a proportional mode for everyday use and a user controlled mode for situations where you need full control such as in really windy areas or off-road.
The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller also has the most factory like appearance once installed when using the Universal Mounting Panel for Redarc Tow-Pro Elite part # 331-TPSI-001 because the knob is all that is visible so you don't have to worry about hitting your knee or drilling into the lower dash panel like you would for a conventional brake controller. The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller is also plug and play if using the above adapter. The plug for the adapter will be located under the dash near the emergency brake pedal.
