How To Tell If a 2018 GMC Acadia Has the Factory Tow Package
Question:
Can I find out if my car has towing package by vin #?
asked by: Kathy
Expert Reply:
If you do not already have a trailer hitch and trailer wiring harness mounted on the rear of the vehicle then it's safe to say you don't have a factory tow package. The dealer however can confirm this using the VIN. That said, it's not necessary, just check the back of the vehicle.
If you don't have a factory tow package and you need to add parts to tow a trailer then we have you covered. For the trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13293 which offers a bolt-on install and does not require removal of the rear bumper fascia. Then for the wiring, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118276 and part # PK12711U if you need a 7-way or part # 118720 if you need a 4-way is what I recommend.
