Does Wiring Connector Exist on 2017 Chevy Traverse Even Without Tow Package
Question:
My question is on the 2017 Chevy traverse. When It says the factory tow when buying a wire kit. I have a LT traverse awd but I do t have a tow package. Will that connection still be under my car where I can plug that into ?

Yes, the connector to install the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56245 will still be located on your 2017 Chevy Traverse even if you don't have the factory tow package. Basically if you had the factory tow package it would already have that connector PLUS it would already have all of the fuses and relays needed to provide power to your trailer light functions.
In addition to the T-Connector I also recommend using mounting brackets # 18144 and # 18140 to keep the 4-Way next to your hitch receiver. I'm attaching an installation video and photo for you to check out.
If you don't already have a trailer hitch or ball mount kit then I recommend the etrailer Hitch # e98863 because of the nice, black matte finish, and then the ball mount kit # C45534 because it gives you everything you need right in one kit. Videos have been added for these as well.
