According to the owner's manual for a 2017 GMC Acadia Limited, the maximum towing capacity of a model with the 3.6L V6 engine and the V92 trailer towing package is 4,000 lbs. The towing capacity of your Acadia is tested independently of the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75528 which is why you are seeing two different towing capacities. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver can physically handle 7,500 lbs with a weight distribution system but your Acadia cannot... view full answer...
Commonly 4-ways connectors are on smaller trailers that don't have brakes and 7-ways are on larger trailers that will have brakes. It really depends on the types of trailers you'd plan on towing. Or you can install 7-way kit confirmed as a fit for your 2017 GMC Acadia Limited part # 118271 and then use a 4-way adapter with it so that you could tow a smaller trailer as needed like with the # PK12716. This would be your best solution that would cover everything!

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part C13293 which is a fit for a 2017 GMC Acadia will fit the Denali models. The Curt hitch offers a complete bolt-on install. The install process is super simple as well taking most only 50 minutes on average.
If you will be towing then you'll also need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118271 which is plug-n-play, the Mounting Bracket and Installation Hardware part # PK12711U, and the etrailer Ball Mount Kit part # 989900 which has the rest of the... view full answer...
Our wheel chocks like the Rack 'Em # RA-17 that you referenced do not have any adjustment or tension control. The # RA-17 accommodates front tires up to 6-1/2-inches wide. For clearance at your brake disc, the Rack'Em # RA-17 is a great choice.
Since you are trailering your trike you might want to consider also using a wheel tie-down set-up like the Pack'Em # PK-WTD. This consists of two bolt-down steel chocks that stabilize the rear tire and also allow for attachment of the included wheel... view full answer...
The Thule Motion XT XXL, part # TH629907 can fit onto most factory crossbars, thanks to its incredibly flexible clamps. These are shared across the Motion cargo box line.
However, the spread of your crossbars will need to be measured. You'll measure from the center of the front bar to the center of the rear bar. All boxes will have a certain range of crossbar spreads that they will fit.
Another concern is with how well it lets your rear hatch operate. You can verify the fit prior to... view full answer...
The Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit part # 523149-1 would be a great option for your 2017 GMC Acadia Limited that we had the chance to install on a Acadia Limited just like yours. Check out the install video link I attached for more info.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes... view full answer...
There is 4-pin wiring available for your 2017 GMC Acadia Limited, but Curt hitch # 13424 does not include the wiring.
Instead, you need the T-One Wiring Harness # 118270 which gives you a 4-flat connector allowing you to power your trailer's lights. If you are going to be towing, I recommend checking out Ball Mount Kit # 989900, which is for 2” hitches and may fulfill your towing needs in one tidy package; two ball mounts - one with a 3/4” rise or 2” drop and the other with a 2-3/4” rise... view full answer...
If a vehicle like yours didn't come with a 7-way or have 7-way wiring present from the factory the only way to activate the reverse light circuit is to tap into the vehicle's reverse light circuit that runs to the rear of the vehicle. Unfortunately there isn't an easier way. So what you'll need to do is use a circuit tester like the part # PTW2993 to test all of the wires that run to the reverse lights until you find the one that has 12 volts when the vehicle is in reverse and use it for... view full answer...
I do have a running board kit that will support you, however, I called my contact at Westin Automotive and unfortunately they were not able to give me a weight capacity rating for the Westin Sure-Grip Running Boards w/ Custom Installation Kit part # 27-6125-1835.
I recommend using the DeeZee NXc Running Boards w Custom Installation Kit part # DZ16202-16210 as these are a confirmed fit for your 2017 GMC Acadia Limited and have a weight capacity of 350 lbs. They also come with everything... view full answer...
The trailer hitches that fit the 2017 GMC Acadia are indeed different from those that fit the Acadia Limited. Hitches for the 2017 Acadia Limited are shown on the linked page. The one I suggest is the Draw-Tite 2-inch Class III model # 75528. I like this one for its combination of price, high towing capacity and simple installation. Written instructions and a helpful install video are linked for your reference. The hitch comes complete with all mounting hardware.

Good question!
The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118270 will fit your 2017 GMC Acadia Limited whether it has the factory package or not. The plug should be located at the rear of your vehicle behind the rear passenger side tire (see attached photo). If you had the tow package you would simply make this connection and be done with it but since you don't you just need to use the fuses and relays that come with the T-One to activate the wiring. We actually do this exact thing on another... view full answer...
Curb weight is what your 2017 GMC Acadia Limited weighs without people or baggage in it while the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is the max amount of weight that your Acadia can handle (which includes the curb weight).
Since the Roadmaster Falcon 2 # RM-520 is rated for 6,000 lbs you have 1,344 lbs that you can put inside your Acadia before you have maxed out the tow bar. Naturally you will want avoid maxing out the weight so that your tow bar isn't straining. I recommend putting no... view full answer...
When a vehicle's owner's manual says to remove fuses I definitely recommend abiding by it. GM requires the fuses be removed in order to disable specific functions that will operate while the Acadia is set up to be flat towed.
We do offer products to make the process easier whenever you're setting it up to be towed. The recommended FuseMaster bypass switches for your Acadia are # RM-76517 and # RM76514.
Also, for disconnecting the battery with a switch use # RM-766. view full answer...
With the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75528 and the Curt # 13424 either option should allow the fascia door to be reattached like you see in the attached videos. Because both should work, I recommend the Draw-Tite option due to the stronger weight rating.
If you will be using this hitch for towing or lighted accessories, I recommend the T-One wiring harness for factory tow package # 118271. This wiring harness can be used as an OEM replacement, but it also includes the... view full answer...
To mount the plug from a 4-Pin Flat wiring kit, like part # C56245, on the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75528 for your 2017 GMC Acadia Limited you will just need the Mounting Bracket part # 18144.
This comes with the mounting hardware. view full answer...
To install the Derale Electra-Cool Combo Engine and Transmission Cooler Assembly w/ Fan # D15220 on your 2017 GMC Acadia Limited you need the Installation Kit # D13023 and the Remote Engine Oil Cooler Installation Kit w/Thermostat Fan Control # D15752. You'll also need 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 for the power and ground as well as some ring terminals on the ends to connect them to power and ground. I have attached the installation instructions for you to check out.

The Westin E-Series Round Nerf Bars # 23-3380 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2017 GMC Acadia Limited, as long as it is not the Denali. I spoke with my contact at Westin to confirm this.
These are really nice, stainless steel nerf bars that feature curved ends for a nice, finished look. The non-slip step pads sit in recessed areas and all of the necessary mounting hardware is included. view full answer...
The most popular set of tow bar safety cables we offer for use with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 part # RM-520 is the coiled kit part # RM-643 are overall 68 inches long but since they are coiled you can wrap them around the arms of the tow bar and they'll stay off the ground. These also have a 6,000 lb capacity. view full answer...
I went out to the warehouse so I could physically test the fit of the 4-Way on the Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness # C56245 and the Hopkins Fold-Over Mounting Bracket # HM48595. I found that the 4-Way connector, along with the dust cap, were just a bit too large to allow the folding bracket to securely close around the unit. This particular bracket will not be the best mounting option for this harness.
I instead recommend looking at the Tow Ready Mounting Bracket # 18144. You can use... view full answer...
I do have a pair of Aries running boards that will fit your 2017 GMC Acadia Limited but I spoke to my contact at Aries and they informed me that they do not have a mounting bracket set confirmed to fit your vehicle and the Aries AdvantEdge Tube Steps part # AA2055875 at this time.
For a set of Aires running boards that hang down about 2"-3" from the bottom of the cab that are a confirmed fit for your vehicle, I recommend using the Aries Round Nerf Bars part # AA204031-2. These nerf bars... view full answer...
