Question:

I own a 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 RST Z71 offroad I bought a dual axel Trailmaster boat trailer. Should I install the brake control harness that Chevy put in the glove comparment?

Hey Mike, it does sound like your trailer has brakes so it would be wise to install a brake controller so that you can operate them when towing. The harness in your glove compartment is most likely just to help wire in a controller but I have an easier solution with the part # TK52HR which plugs in under your dash and then into back of the P3 brake controller it comes with which is a super nice controller that works well and is very reliable.

Hey Mike, how did things go with the P3 brake controller and harness on your Silverado? Did the setup make towing your Trailmaster trailer smoother? Your update could make it easier for the next person with a similar truck and trailer combo.
