For your 2020 Chevy Traverse we have the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-523200-5 that is designed to work with or without Adaptive Cruise control.

I suggest the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1734 if you do not have ACC and the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1738 if you do have ACC. The arms remove with a twist of your hands when not in use. The base plate has a simple hidden design. It has a straight forward installation, no welding, it just bolts to your frame and gets hidden away.

Adaptive cruise control (ACC) is a system designed to help road vehicles maintain a safe following distance and stay within the speed limit. This system adjusts a car's speed automatically so drivers don't have to.

The monitor light of the Brakemaster part #RM-9160 doesn't tie into the tow bar wiring of the vehicle it installs in and instead wires to the towed vehicle. I attached a diagram that shows how the switch wires up as well.
