Question:
I have a 2017 Subaru Outback and Im in need of a brake controller. Can you recommend one for this vehicle? Do you have a wiring harness that will save me some work? Thanks

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.
There isn't a quick install harness for your 2017 Subaru Outback but I can help you pick out the parts you need.
You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118467.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.
