Trailer Brake Controllee
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hi. I have a 2019 Suburban LT. It has the trailer package but not the max trailering package that comes with the trailer brake controller on the dash. I see I can buy that part and the new piece of trim cheap and add it. There is also a place in the fuse box by the pedals for an aftermarket harness to be added. Has anyone ever retrofitted the stock controller to their suburban? And if so can you provide any advise? I am wondering if it’s possible since the car may not be programmed to accept it.

the factory controller is the one you want. It will incorporate with the trucks abs/stability system providing sway control....activating individual front brakes to counter act sway which is detected by the traction control system yaw sensor. no aftermarket controller can do this.
the factory system fits neater into the dash so its not hit by your knees and within reach if you need to manually applied the trailer brakes
you buy a kit from the dealer...install it or have it itstalled. the dealer will flash the appropriate modules to add it to the build.

My 2015 Ram has the integrated brake controller and it work really well. I've had 2 aftermarket controllers in two previous trucks and the integrated unit beats either of them hands down. Smooth operation, trouble free, and reliable.
