The reason "why" you want to install a brake controller on your 2017 Toyota Tacoma is to allow you to control the brakes of your trailer (assuming it is equipped with them). This gives you a much safer and less stressful towing experience as you'll be able to stop in a much safer amount time/distance in the event of an emergency. Basically the controller allows you to apply the brakes of the trailer in a safe and controlled way to match the intensity of how hard you are applying the vehicle brakes.

So the easiest brake controller solution for your truck will be the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 which basically just plugs straight into the 7-way at the rear of your vehicle and is ready for use after you sync your smart phone to it. I attached a review video for this for more info as well.
