Yes, you can tow your 2016 GMC Acadia. You will need 5 components however, to safely and correctly tow your GMC Acadia.
To start you will need a base plate kit, the Roadmaster EZ Crossbar Style Base Plate Kit # 523149-1 is an excellent choice that will feature Roadmaster's crossbar-style brackets to provide attachment points for the quick-disconnect crossbar on your tow bar.
Next, you will need a wiring kit, the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 will provide all the necessary wiring components needed for flat towing, including a 7 way to 6 way cord.
Then you will need a set of tow bars, the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 is a great choice and has a large hookup radius to allow you to connect to your toad vehicle, without perfectly lining up your vehicle.
Next, you will need safety cables, the RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643 will offer extra protection for your towing system.
Finally you will need a supplemental braking system, theBrake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524, will provide precise, responsive braking for your towing system, and will respond to deceleration of your RV to activate your towed vehicle's brake pedal, with matching intensity.
