Hey John, for your 2017 GMC Yukon XL I really like the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty with custom install kit part # RED26CR is a really great option that comes with everything you'd need. The Redarc is a proportional brake controller that only puts a small knob on the dash of your vehicle so it looks really nice as well. What brake controllers have you used in the past?
