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...
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...
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...
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.

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.

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...
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...
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...
