Question:
Will any of the Chevy pigtails work on the 2021 Silverado 5500. If not, what do I need to do to complete the controller hookup?

Expert Reply:
A brake controller like the P3 part # 90195 can install in your 2021 Chevy Silverado 5500 but there isn't a plug in option since the vehicle does not have trailer wiring. So what you'd need to do is hardwire in a 4-way first with the part # C59236 and then use the # ETBC7 to convert it to a 7-way and also wire in the brake controller and you'd be set. This comes with everything for the conversion and the brake controller install.
