Brake Controller Recommendation for 2017 Escalade ESV
Updated 05/19/2026 | Published 05/17/2026
Question:
We have a 2017 Escalade ESV with a factory installed towing package, but it does not have the trailer brake booster installed. Can you recommend the correct one for this vehicle? It does have the plug in adapter ready to have a booster plugged in as it shows on your videos.

Hey Young Park, I would highly recommend the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED26CR for your 2017 Cadillac Escalade ESV. This plugs right into the port under your dash that you mentioned and gives you a really nice brake controller that works well and also only puts a small knob on the dash. What are you planning on towing?
