Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with 2018 GMC Acadia
Question:
What is the trailering package with tow
asked by: Don R
Expert Reply:
For your 2018 GMC Acadia we have everything you'd need to tow a trailer. For a hitch the Draw Tite part # 76023 that you referenced would be what I recommend as it fits behind the rear bumper cutout of your vehicle, has plenty of capacity and has a 2 inch opening. For trailer wiring you'd then want the # 118720 because it installs easily without requiring any splicing.
Since you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
