You'll have to run some of your own wires, but you'll need at least the switches, brake controller, and lower dash panel out of the later model truck to put in yours. I haven't seen the back of the factory brake box, but if it's part of the tow command system, there will be some extra wires you can't use.

I may be wrong but the tow command system is tied into the truck's brake system and PCM. I'm not sure if that's a do-able mod for our older trucks. You might have to stay with an aftermarket trailer brake module.
