How Does Brake Controller Install in 2023 Chevy Traverse with Factory Tow Package
Updated 09/02/2026 | Published 08/28/2026 >
Question:
I have a 2023 Chevrolet Traverse with a factory tow package. Is there a plug and play cable the plugs into a factory plug that is on the drivers side kick pad.

Hey Eddy, this is a great question but for the 2023 Chevrolet Traverse with the factory tow package, there is factory brake-controller wiring behind the driver's-side kick panel, but there is not a plug-and-play connector/adapter available for it.
So what is behind the kick panel is the correct factory brake-controller wiring there's only four blunt cut wires that you would wire directly to a brake controller as there isn't a connector there to plug into. So the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED52VR with it's included universal install harness would wire directly to the brake controller wiring on the vehicle.
