For a brake controller for your 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 I would 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.

There's nothing wrong with the Curt controllers, but we do seem to have to do a bit more troubleshooting with their controllers and we don't sell nearly as many as we do the P3.

To install the controller all you'd need is the correct install harness part # 3016 and you'd be set.
