Expert Reply:
We do not have 5-pole type wiring harnesses for your 2012 Chevrolet Traverse but it is easy enough to adapt 4-pole wiring to the 5-pole format simply by adding an adapter kit. We offer three such items, parts # 20036, # 47515 or # C57187. I linked an install video for part # 20036.
All of these include an additional wire/circuit to allow connection to the reverse light circuit for a trailer coupler lockout function or for any other circuit function you require.
