Yes, it's been forever since I posted. Sorry, life kidnapped me
Specs should still be sitting on the left, so under those specs...
I'm angling to get a Forest River trailer, model is a No Boundaries 19.2 . Dry weight is 3600 lbs, and I won't dare (and I doubt that) I put on more than 600 lbs or so of cargo (because any more than that would blow right past my puny max tow of 4400 lbs.)
So - all the research keeps saying that I can slap in the OEM controller, and w/o flashing the truck, it should work out-of-the-box, but just blind (meaning you won't see anything on any screen, but the controller would work anyway.) Is that true, or will I need to reach for OBD Alfa (or -bleah- go to the dealership)?
Otherwise, what brand of 3rd-party bolt-on controller works best with a 2017-vintage 1500 that plug-and-plays right into the existing harness wiring (so I don't have to duplicate efforts)?
