Is this 2000 Chevy the new style or old style? Some 2500 and 3500 models were still the old style in 2000.
If you have a new style truck, it's pre-wired for a 7-pin plug, trailer brakes, and the charging wire.
All you need to do is get the 7-pin plug for GM trucks (available at any auto parts store, walmart, tractor supply, etc.) and mount it on your bumper. There is a wiring harness plug hanging from the underside of the bed. All you do is pull it down, pull the cap off, and plug it in.
Up under the hood in the fuse box, you need to put a 40A fuse in the Stud #1 position to get power to charge the trailer battery.
For trailer brakes, there is a socket underneath a cover by where your left big toe rests when you're driving. If you buy a Tekonsha brake controller, it's plug and play because you can also buy a pre-wired adapter cable that plugs right into the truck's wiring harness.
As you can tell, I've done this a time or three. I've set up a 2000, 2002, and 2003 Chevy for towing with full power and brakes. It's really easy.
