Tekonsha Prodigy, probably the best on the market.

I have a Reese and love it. It is digital so you can easily go back to the setting you were at either empty or loaded. And it has the ability change the time from you stepping on the brakes till it is at the power it is set at, a lot less jerking around.

I had a Reese controller and took it off. I now run a Voyager like it much better. The Reese was too slow too fast always needing adjusted depending on load. The voyager acts based on how fast you are stopping and works much better, esp in a panic stop or a slow stopping stituation. Basicly the same money to buy.

I would check in the glovebox and see iof you have the wireing harness for the controller. if not then get one off of chevy dealer.
Good luck
Ron

I had an older Tekonsha but got this new Reese for $20! I don't pull too often so for the money I don't think I can complain. I do beleive the Prodigy is probably the best there is though.
