All models of the 2017 GMC Acadia, including the All Terrain variant of the SLE and SLT trim levels, are built on the GM C1XX platform which is new for 2017.

Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 76023 is a fit for the new 2017 GMC Acadia, all styles, and I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

The trailer wiring harnesses available, such as # 118720, are designed for models that came prewired for a factory tow package. You can check with a dealer to determine if your model has the factory tow package wiring ready to go.
