Expert Reply:
If you're looking to switch to an aftermarket brake controller on your 2017 Toyota Tundra, the best option is the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller part # RED44FR which features a plug-in-play install when using the Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers part # RED99FR. It can also install nice and clean when you use the Mounting Panel for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controller Control Knob part # 331-TPSI-002. I have a Toyota Tundra with a factory trailer brake controller as well and although haven't had any issues with it, if I were to replace it the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite would be what I used no question.
