Hey David, this is a great question but essentially there is no difference between the two Redarc Tow Pro Liberty brake controller part numbers # RED72CR and # RED68CR that both fit your 2017 Toyota Tacoma. Basically it's two part numbers that have kitted custom harnesses included with them but for some reason we have two part numbers for same kits. Sorry for confusion! I would just go with whichever has the better price.
