Question:
I have a 2005 Chevrolet 3500 HD. I tow a Genesis Supreme 40 CRXL with triple axles. Which Red Arc Remote Brake Controler would be best. Do they make a vehicle specific plug and play model? Which model do you recommend for my application?

Expert Reply:
The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Trailer Brake Controller part # RED52VR is what I recommend for a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 as it seems like you'll only be doing on-road towing and the Tow-Pro Elite part # RED44FR is best for on and off-road. In order to install said controller you'll need the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers part # 3015-S which plugs into the vehicle and wires to the pigtail that comes with the brake controller which is only four wires.
