Big fan of the P3s, but do you have capability to install an integrated brake controller?

We just had a Curt Spectrum brake controller installed in our 2016 Chevrolet Colorado. We’ve o oh pulled our R Pod 190 about 700 miles, but seems to work good.

The hardest part will be finding the connector. Toyota goes out of their way to hide it but it is there. Be sure to buy the vehicle specific adapter cable.

I installed a Husky Quest in our Highlander and like it. It replaced the cheap time-ramp controller the dealer installed.
