Question:

I have a 2023 Chevy Silverado and I am wanting to add a brake controller. I would like one that connects to my truck without cutting or splicing wires but I have no interest in one that has to be controlled by my phone. Which one do you recommend?

I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller for Tekonsha Harness item # RED63RR. This brake controller and harness will install inside your Silverado without cutting or splicing wires using the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter item # 3064-P. This set up fits all of the Chevy Silverado's that come with the factory tow package.

I really like this brake controller because it has a unique installation method where you can mount the control knob on your dash or console and hide the main unit out of sight. It is perfect for towing as you do not have to worry about banging your knee on a bulky brake controller. This is a proportional brake controller that automatically adjusts your trailer's braking based on the deceleration of your Silverado.

I have linked a couple of pictures below that will show you what the Redarc item # RED63RR looks like when installed and where you could put the knob. I have also included a picture of where you can find the brake controller adapter and linked an installation video that will be helpful as well.
