Can The Redarc Tow Pro Liberty Be Used On 2012 Chevy Tahoe With Factory Tow Package?

Question:

Why doesn’t a Redarc Liberty controller work on my 2012 Tahoe with the tow option without the integrated controller?

Hello Tom, thanks for getting in touch. The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller can absolutely be used on a 2012 Chevy Tahoe with the factory tow package. GM did not install the necessary port for the brake controller on the 2012 Tahoe, but the wires are already present under the dash, so can simply hardwire the controller. For that use the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED52VR. This comes with the controller and the universal pigtail you can use for installation.

Thanks Jesse, are there any videos that address the Liberty and my Tahoe specifically? Tom

@TomW Take a look at the video linked below. This shows the Tekonsha P3 being installed on a 2011 Tahoe. Not a Redarc but it installs using the same wire bundle under the dash so this should give you a good enough idea of how to do the Redarc. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
