Easy to Install Brake Controller for 2020 Chevy Traverse
Updated 02/04/2021 | Published 02/02/2021
Question:
Hello! I have a 2020 Chevy Traverse with the factory tow package. I am pulling a pop-up camper. Do I need a brake controller to manage the pop-up brakes?

Expert Reply:
To activate the brakes of your pop up you would need to have a brake controller installed as the factory tow package wiring you have now does not activate the brakes as-is.
The easiest solution is the Curt Echo Mobile # C51180 which plugs into an active 7-way and once synced to a smart phone is ready to tow with. Definitely the easiest possible option.
