Trailer Wiring Options for Towing a Trailer with a 2018 Chevy Equinox
Question:
I just got a tow hitch connected to the vehicle. The place where i got it from is saying that the their wiring harness will not work and I’ll probably need to purchases one from the dealership $150. Do you make one for the 2018 equinox?

Expert Reply:
We do have trailer wiring kits available for your 2018 Chevy Equinox!
If you have the Premier model then you need part # 118759 but if you don't have the Premier then you need part # 118750 instead. Both of these tee into the connectors behind your tail lights and draw power via the black wire that gets routed to your vehicle battery. This helps to protect the wiring on your Equinox in the event that something goes wrong with your trailer wiring so that it doesn't backfeed to your Equinox.
I have attached a sample installation video of the 118750 kit that you can reference for either install as they will be very similar since the only real difference between them are the connectors used to tee in behind the tail lights.
