If it has the 7-pin connector under the bumper, it likely will have an oem supplied connector/adapter in the glove box. With Ford these oem connectors need to be hard wired to the controller, but very easy to do, especially for an EE. :)

You just need the standard vehicle side pigtail that came with the P3, the GMC will just have wires without a connector.
A 2012 GMC will have a bundle of wires taped to a brace above the brake pedal. This is from memory. The GM blue goes to blue on the P3 pigtail. The GM blue with white goes to red on the p3 pigtail. The GM red with black goes to the P3 black, and the GM white to the P3 white. There may be an orange wire, don't worry about it.
Now go to the underhood power center and find the red wire that is bundled and stuffed between the power center and inner fender towards the rear of the plastic housing. Connect this to the inner stud located on the front of the power center. You need an 8mm fine threaded nut. You may have to install the fuse to power the stud, 30 amp IIRC, this powers up the controller.
But like MFL said the truck has to have the factory 7 pin out back. If it doesn't chances are it is also not pre-wired for the controller.
