Trailer Wiring for 2018 Chevy Equinox Premier

Question

Question:

Hi, I have a 2018 Chevy Equinox Premier and recently had a hitch installed. I was told that no trailer wiring harness is made for my vehicle yet. I see on your website a harness but no photo. Do you have a wire harness for my vehicle? Thanks

There are wiring options for your 2018 Chevy Equinox Premier. If you have the factory tow package you would be able to use the Curt # C56375.

If you did not have the factory tow package you would want to use the Tekonsha T-One Wiring Harness # 118759. Both of the Tekonsha options are without photos, as you mentioned, but their links can still be found below.

If you are going to be towing, I recommend checking out Ball Mount Kit # 989900, which 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 or 4” drop, a 1-7/8” hitch ball, a 2” hitch ball and a pin and clip.In order to choose the correct ball mount, you will need to take a couple quick measurements first.

With your Equinox parked on level ground, measure from the top of the receiver opening to the ground; your Triton 21 should also be parked on level ground, and you'll need to measure from the bottom of the coupler to the ground. If the height of your hitch is greater you'll need a ball mount with the appropriate drop. Should the height of your coupler be greater, you will need a ball mount with the right amount of rise. I've added a link to our page with each of our ball mounts, as well as a help article on ball mounts for you to take a look at.
