Expert Reply:
To replace the OEM brake controller on your 2022 Chevy Silverado, the best option is one that just plugs into your 7-way and completely bypasses the factory controller, the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180.
The Echo is simple to set up with an app on your smartphone, and gives you steady braking proportional to that of your Chevy.
