The lower section of the dash panel on your 2017 Ford F-450 is where most people are installing brake controllers. We have seen the controller installed to the left of the steering wheel and to the right.

I would go with the right side since it wouldn't be in the way when getting in and out of the truck.

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. For an install harness you'd then want the part # 22292.
