Personally if it were me I would tell the dealership that I will pay for the part but not the labor. Why would a dealership order a truck with a tow package and not order the brake controller :h. IMHO it is to rip off the customer by charging him labor to install something that should have been installed at the factory :M!
Congrats on the truck at any rate!

I completely agree. I was rather shocked when I was looking around at trucks, all with tow packages, virtually none with the brake controller unless it was a 50K+ truck.
The part is listed as $300 accessory, that includes part plus installation. The better controllers are $150+. Saves me running around, finding one and installing it. So the extra is my convenience tax unfortunately.
