As far the 4-way for your 2021 Chevy Traverse, you need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118761. The T-One includes a ModuLite power converter to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches that of your trailer. With the T-One, you will have full functionality of brake lights and running lights on your vehicle. If you are looking to add a brake controller to the trailer, you will need 7-way wiring for your existing connector. For that wiring, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118287 in addition to the T-One.
To add a brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha Voyager # 39510 or the Curt Echo # C51180. Both of these controllers are proportional controllers which means that the controller activates the trailer brakes in proportion to your vehicle's braking action. The Voyager is more of a traditional-style controller than requires mounting into the dashboard of your vehicle near the steering wheel. On the other hand, the Curt Echo allows you to control the settings of your controller with the ease of your Smart device.
If you need help installing any of these accessories, I went ahead and linked walk-through videos to guide you through the process.
