Another question which is not covered in the operators manual......:)

My 2007 Yukon XL has the towing package and I have a car trailer with electric brakes. I had an add-on electric brake actuator on my '95 Suburban which worked well since I could adjust the amount of brake that went back to the trailer as the load increased (running without anything on it required less brakes than when I had weight/car on the trailer).

My question is does the Yukon XL towing package have the setup from the factory for the electric brakes? Or do I need to install an optional electric brake sender for this like I had on my Suburban?

I like the optional one since I can adjust the brakes on the trailer (slide bar on the actuator that I had mounted under the dash) from the sender while I am driving. Wondering how the Yukon XL knows how much voltage to send to the trailer brakes depending on the load.

You will need an aftermarket brake controller. They didnt start putting factory brake controllers in until 08 for the 2500s and 09 for the 1/2 tons.
