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 and I have attached an installation video for this option as well.
Neither of these options come with a mounting bracket but you can easily install a mounting bracket without drilling into your trailer hitch by using part # 18144 for the 4-Pole or part # PK12711U for the 7-Way along with either the Short # 18140 or Long # C57202 No-Drill Mounting Bracket.
