Helpful Expert Reply:

You will actually install just two relays with the 4-flat wiring harnesses that fit your 2017 Chevy Traverse without the factory trailer connector. The Curt simply has an extra, but both will have two relays installed, at the same position on your Traverse, R15 and R16, as you can see by the cut out of the linked installation instructions I added for each:

- Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118270

- Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56245

I have added links to video installs of both harnesses on a 2017 Traverse for you to check out as well.
