Hello Ric,

I’m sorry, but I’m not showing that there is a vehicle-specific pigtail available for your 2013 Sierra 1500.

You would need to splice in the brake controller. The Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller - Up to 3 Axles - Proportional # TK90160 would be the correct brake controller for your vehicle, as it comes with a universal wiring pigtail. If you need just the pigtail, you can order # 20127.

Is there a connector under your dash for a vehicle-specific pigtail?

Hey Ric, did you find a connector under the dash of your Sierra for the brake controller wiring? Knowing what you found could help others trying to hook up the Primus IQ the same way.

@KateF Foor this model year it was wires. I clipped the connector off the harness I purchased and used connectors. Worked fine. Ric
