Hello. I have a 2017 Chevy Equinox. Can you please link me to everything I need for towing. Hitch, receiver, 4 pin wiring harness/connector? Thank you

First let's start with a hitch. For that the etrailer part # e98865 is the winner as it has the best towing capacities, best price, and is our most popular option. I attached an install video.
For trailer wiring you'd need the # 118494. This is the most reliable brand we carry so it's what we recommend highest.
Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in 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 include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
