The Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90885 with the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # 3015-P is what I recommend for a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 over the Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller part # C24VV with the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers part # C51352.

The Curt TriFlex and Tekonsha Prodigy are both good options with similar features but the Prodigy is much more proven and has been around longer.
