Integrated Trailer Brake Controller
An integrated trailer brake controller with instrument panel-mounted controls is available on both Silverado 1500 — where it's a GM-exclusive feature(1) among half-ton models — and Silverado HD. Integrated with the ABS system, the controller provides immediate and measured brake force signaling to electric-controlled trailer brake systems. Since it's fully integrated with the vehicle's ABS and electric systems, there is no requirement for external and/or aftermarket brake control systems — response is coordinated with the application of the vehicle brakes.
