In the market for a Trailer Brake Controller for my 2011 GMC 1500. Which kind/brand and why?
I'd highly recommend ordering and installing a factory brake controller but I'm sure it would cost way more than an aftermarket under dash unit. My 2013 Chevy has the factory controller and it works great. On my other older truck I bought and installed a Reese digital brake controller (under $100). After getting the controls set properly it works very well. Tekonsha Voyager and Prodigy controllers are very good too. Check the Etrailer link below for controller info and models they sell.

I know with the '14s on up the factory brake controller cannot be retro-fitted... I too am using a P3 and have been very happy with it.
That makes no sense. That's taking 10 steps backwards!

You must order it with the truck. Different main wiring harness, JL1 RPO includes a ton of things. They should remove a standard yuppie option and make the integrated controller standard.
