I am sure if you took your truck to a GM dealer they could set you up with a factory brake controller for your 2017 Chevy Silverado.

Or you could go the aftermarket route and get an arguably nicer controller for less money.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. 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.

To install it in your truck would only require the install harness # 3016 which plugs right into the port under your dash.

I attached an install video for this harness in a truck like yours for you to check out as well.
