Brake Controller Recommendation for 2017 Toyota Tacoma with Tow Package
Question:
So I have a 2017 Tacoma with the tow package option. Does that mean it is also prewired for a trailer brake system?

Helpful Expert Reply:
If you have a 2017 Toyota Tacoma with the tow package/factory 7-way yes it is pre-wired for a brake controller.
For a brake controller I recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.
For an install harness you want the part # 3031-P which plugs the controller directly into the port under the dash.
