The best trailer brake controller for your 2017 Subaru Outback is the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195.
The P3 is the best option for you because it gives you the most consistently smooth braking, has a bright LCD screen that is easy to read, and has continual diagnostic checks with safeguards to prevent short outs. This is a very high-performing and reliable controller that has been reviewed thousands of times by our customers and has a nearly perfect 5-star rating, which speaks to its quality.
I have added links to a video review and install for you to check out as well of the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195.
If you do not have any trailer wiring you will need to add it with the Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118467 and Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controllers # ETBC7. Finally, if you need a trailer hitch for your 2017 Subaru Outback, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98847.
