I've towed lots of stuff with my StabiliTrak equipped Avalanche, with and without an aftermarket brake controller, without any problems. Stabilitrak uses a combination of wheel speed, steering wheel position, throttle position, brake position, yaw and pitch sensors to determine whether the vehicle is moving in the intended direction. If it's not, it will reduce engine power and/or apply the brakes to straighten you out. I can tell you that NOTHING gets past it. It won't let me fishtail around corners or do donuts in the snow. It stops those shennanigans immediately. It's pretty impressive. I've never had a trailer "fool" it nor has it ever intervened unintentionally.
Except for the newer models where you can get a factory brake controller integrated with the Stabilitrak, an aftermarket brake controller functions as it normally would without problems.
