The correct brake controller install harness for your 2017 Toyota 4Runner is the part # 3041-P which installs by connecting to a white plug near the emergency brake pedal.

I attached a picture that shows where you'll find the connector near the pedal.

For a brake controller 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.
