Expert Reply:
Yes, the same parts will apply to a FWD 2017 Chevy Equinox as well as a 2017 Equinox with AWD save maybe the fuse bypass that is used. The parts listed are as follows:
Base Plate Kit - # BX1689
Tow Bar/Safety Cables - # BX7380
Tow Bar Wiring - # RM-15267
Fuse Bypass - # RM-76517 (4-Cylinder) # RM76511 (V6)
Charge Line Kit - # RM-156-25
Braking System - # SM99251
Most flat towing setups require a high-low adapter for the tow bar to remain level while towing. I have linked our selection of adapters for you to check out as well as an article that will help you determine which is the best one for your application.
I have attached a lot of installation videos that we shot on 2016 and 2017 Equinox that you can check out. Please be sure to also refer to your owner's manual for any specific flat towing instructions.
