Does Hitch Install on 2019 GMC Terrain Require Dropping Exhaust
Question:
Does the exhaust on a 2019 GMC terrain need to be lowered to install this hitch? Also I need a 4 flat plug with harness are there any available that have a bracket for the plug so its not just the wire hanging?

The exhaust of your 2019 GMC Terrain does not need to be lowered to install the etrailer.com hitch part # e98904 that you referenced. While we don't have a hitch for your vehicle that has a 4-way mounting bracket we do have other solutions like the 4-way bracket # 18140 and # 18144. This will wrap around the hitch tube and give you a bracket like you are wanting.
For a 4-way then you'd want the part # 119250KIT.
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.
