Truck built in trailer brake controllers
I just bought a 2015 Silverado LT 4X4 with the built in trailer brake controller and tow package. I am towing a 2006 Fleetwood Malard CK180. Anyone had problems with the GM built in brake controllers...

DITTO!
They operate the brakes much more seamlessly than an add-on controller.
Smooth. No herky-jerky.
ditto. In fact recently I had an occasion where someone not paying attention cut in front of me a the hit the brakes. I'm 60ft overall, 18,000lbs, with our duramax. I hit the brakes, ABS kicked in, brake controller worked. I srubbed off 40mph with the ABS running and stopped straight as an arrow. didn't even feel anything from the trailer, but I knew the ABS, brake controller and exhaust brake did a great job.
In normal driving, the built in controller is head and shoulders above the prodigy on our 04 silverado.
