Update..the particular truck I am looking at has the 5.3 v8, etc., but doesn't have the integrated controller .. it's a chevy .. dealer says adding an oem integrated controller as a dealer-installed option not possible...but, this particular truck (a holdover 2018) is deeply discounted.. anything 2019 with the max-tow package would be at least 10k more than what I'm looking at .. dealer can install an afermarket controller that wouldn't have any potential effect on warranty .. thoughts?
You are looking at a truck that doesn't fully fit your needs. Aftermarket controllers are a simple plug and pray device and can be added by anyone with half a brain, but I wouldn't want one.
