I have a solution for you, but the problem with using any type of hitch extender like the Curt Dual Hitch Adapter # D-192 is that they reduce the tongue weight of the hitch by 50%. It looks like the tongue weight capacity of the hitch that you've found is going to be 500-lbs, so using the # D-192 would bring it down to 250-lbs total. If you're carrying 160-lbs of bikes and rack, plus the tongue weight of the trailer, you're going to be over the tongue weight capacity.

When it comes to installing a brake controller in your 2018 Chevrolet Traverse with factory tow package I recommend The Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 2 Axles - Proportional # C51180.
This controller automatically adjusts trailer's braking based on deceleration of tow vehicle. The controller has a fast, plug and play installation with no tools required. The controller has a user-friendly, app that lets you connect, monitor, and control all of your trailer's braking... view full answer...
According to Blue Ox, the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU33XR will work great with your 2022 Chevrolet Traverse, as long that your Traverse includes Adaptive Cruise Control & Top Shutters.
With that being said, If you're interested in a complete flat towing setup for your 2022 Chevrolet Traverse, you're also going to need:
-A set of tow bars, like the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # RM-677,
-A wiring kit, like the Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights... view full answer...
Yes, there are trim levels of the 2021 Chevrolet Traverse that can be flat towed. I recommend that you review your vehicle specific Owner's Manual to identify and familiarize yourself with the manufacturers recommendations of flat towing your vehicle. Please look under "Recreational Towing". The online version of the Owner's Manual I referenced has this information listed beginning on page 312.
There are five basic items needed to safely flat tow any vehicle. You will need a base... view full answer...
The base plate kit that I recommend for your 2021 Chevrolet Traverse is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523200-5. This base plate kit will work whether you have the adaptive cruise control or not, is made in the USA and will allow you to use a direct connect tow bar which is easier to use than a crossbar style. I have included a list of the other parts that you will need to flat tow, along with my recommendation for each part.

We definitely have it! Part rcp66-bk is a Rhino-Rack part number. Here at etrailer, that part is the Custom RCP Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack RC and RV Series Roof Rack Legs - Fixed Mounting Points # RR32SV.
Judging by the fact that you are looking at this fit kit, I assume you have raised rails on your 2021 Traverse. To complete the Rhino-Rack setup that includes the # RR32SV, you need the following parts:
- Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 46" Long # RRVA118B-2
- RCL... view full answer...
According to my measurements the mounting holes on the Trailer D-Ring Tie Down, # LRB1, will accept bolts no larger than 7/16 inches in diameter so you could go with a 3/8 inch bolt/nut or screw. You can just use standard hardware which can be obtained from your local hardware store.
We do not offer any hardware for these tie downs. view full answer...
To add a trailer light wiring harness to your 2013 Chevrolet Traverse LS I recommend using the Tekonsha T-One # 118270. This will simply plug into the connector at the rear of your Traverse and give you a 4-Pole connector for your trailer. I have attached an installation video that our team shot on a 2013 Traverse that you can use as a reference for install.
If you are needing a 7-Way then I recommend going with the Tekonsha T-One # 118271 instead. This will install in a similar manner... view full answer...
To upgrade your 2021 Chevrolet Traverse's towing package I recommend going with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # CU29FR. This is a custom fit 2" receiver that installs without any drilling. This is a Class III receiver with a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and tongue weight of 500 lbs. I have attached a picture to show what this hitch looks like installed on a Traverse.
For your trailer wiring functions I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole... view full answer...
We can absolutely help you find the parts you're looking for. For base plates that are compatible with your Blue Ox Alpha tow bar you'll want to use one of the following, depending on whether or not you've got the adaptive cruise control feature on your Traverse.
For Adaptive cruise use the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX1738
Without adaptive cruise use the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX1734
For the wiring solution I recommend using the Roadmaster # RM-15247, which will allow your... view full answer...
Certainly, I'd be glad to help with that. In addition to the # e98863 etrailer brand Class III hitch, to complete your towing set-up you'd need the # 118270 wiring harness, which includes the fuses and relays to activate the tow package lighting circuits. You'll also need a ball mount like # C45010 and for a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, # 19260 or for a 2 inch ball, # 63845. view full answer...
There is not a vehicle specific adapter for your 2022 Chevrolet Traverse, so you will need to use the universal harness # C27JR.
In order to complete installation of the Curt Echo Wireless # C51180, you'll need to add a 7 way # ETBC7L, if you do not have one present already. view full answer...
The 4-pole trailer wiring harness you referenced, part # 118450 from TowReady, is the correct plug-and-play harness for the 2009 Traverse that does not have a factory 7-way socket. In addition to this you will need a 7-way. You can use part # 37185 from Hopkins; the 4-pole flat connector from the harness will plug directly into the Hopkins 7-way, which includes a mounting bracket. The 7-way will then carry the lighting signals from the vehicle.
If the trailer has electric brakes instead... view full answer...
I looked up your previous order and you purchased the wiring harness, parrt # 118270. Since this plugged in and worked for you it means you have the factory to package connector without having the complete tow package. This is good news because all you need to add a 7-way trailer connector is part # 118271. This will give you a 7-way and replace your 4-way plugging into the same place.
So you don't need the # ETBC7 kit afterall. view full answer...
I would be happy to help you set your 2011 Chevrolet Traverse up for towing. You are going to need a hitch receiver, a couple of wiring harnesses, a brake controller, and a ball mount.
Let's start with your hitch receiver I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e98863. This is a custom fit hitch that bolts directly to your Traverse with included hardware. It has a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and maximum tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs. I have linked an installation... view full answer...
The Inno square bar roof rack that fits the raised rails on your 2023 Chevy Traverse includes the following parts:
- 54" Square Crossbars # INB137
- Inno Feet # INFR
As long as your crossbars are at least 54" you just need the feet and you're good to go! view full answer...
Without knowing the length of the crossbars and the weight of the kayaks, I would have some doubts that you're going to be able to carry 4 kayaks on the roof of a 2015 Chevy Traverse-but if you were going to do it the Thule Stacker # TH830 would be the way to go since they don't take up a ton of space. You're going to need roughly 50" (the Stacker takes up about 3" of bar space) of crossbar space to successfully do this. I would also recommend checking your owner's manual to find out the... view full answer...
According to my research, all 2017 Chevy Traverse models are prewired for a brake controller. If you were wanting to go with the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885 (great choice), you'll need the # 3026-P brake controller wiring harness. If your Traverse isn't equipped with the factory 7-way trailer connector at the rear bumper, you can easily add one using the # 118271 wiring harness, which also includes the fuses and relays necessary to activate the tow package wiring. The wiring harness... view full answer...
That is simply too much to spend on adapter bars, I agree. You don't have to use a specific adapter bar so you can use # HE6009 which costs much less than some of the other options.
You don't necessarily have to use bike adapter bars. But there are some situations where using one is the only way to load certain bikes. Take a look at the video I have linked for some examples.
A regular women's bike frame that has the slanted bar doesn't have to have one (though the bike would be at a weird... view full answer...
To find which part fits to provide a 7-way trailer connetor on your 2015 Chevrolet Traverse you need to look and see how the 4-way that you currently have connects. Does it connect using the standard round car connector, like in the first picture I've attached, or is it a rounded rectangle connector, like in the second picture?
If it's a round connector then you can use part # C55774 which is a 7-way and 4-way connector. If your Traverse uses the other connector then use part # 118271... view full answer...
