Question:
I have a 2018 GMC Acadia that I need a trailer hitch and wiring for, what should I get?

For your GMC Acadia the best hitch option we have is the Draw Tite part # 76023. The reason I recommend this hitch is that when not in use you can install the bumper cover on top of it and it would be totally hidden.
Then for trailer wiring the T-One kit part # 118720 is the best option for if you need a 4-way or part # 118276 for if you need a 7-way. This is our best and most reliable brand of trailer wiring so we recommend it the highest.
If 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.
