Question:

Im looking for a brake controller for my 2012 yukon denali. I will be towing a dual axle dump trailer and a single axle camping trailer. All I see is splice in. Is there a pull and play model out there?

Thanks for all the information Joe! To add a brake controller to your 2012 Yukon Denali, I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller w/ Universal Wiring Harness item # RED52VR. This is a proportional brake controller that calibrates automatically so it will work great with multiple trailers.

GM did not install a brake controller port in your Yukon so there are no plug in adapters. GM did run the wires you'll need though. They will be bundled up under the dash, on the left side of the brake pedal. You'll be able to use the universal harness included with the Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller item # RED52VR to splice directly into these prepped wires.

I attached a picture below of where to locate the wires. I also linked a help article that breaks down what functions and colors you'll need to connect the harness for the Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller item # RED52VR to on your Yukon.

Which of your trailer's gets used more and what do you haul in the dump trailer? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.
