For your 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500, I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller item # RED24FR. This is a proportional brake controller that automatically adjusts your trailer's braking based on the deceleration of your Silverado.
The Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller item # RED24FR 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 occasional towing as you do not have to worry about banging your knee on a bulky brake controller.
Since your Silverado has the OEM prep package all you will need to complete your install is the Redarc Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness item # 331-TPH-010. This is a plug in adapter that will allow you to install the Tow-Pro Liberty without cutting or splicing wires.
I have linked a diagram below that will show you were to find the port to plug this adapter in.
