I have two hitch receivers that are compatible with your 2022 GMC Acadia. The first hitch receiver is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2", part # C13293. This is a Class III hitch receiver, meaning that it is a 2" hitch receiver. It has a maximum tongue weight of 750 lbs and a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs. It is powder coated steel to help resist rust and corrosion. This hitch receiver will bolt on your vehicle. The next hitch receiver is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2", part # 76023. This hitch receiver is also Class III. This hitch receiver has a maximum tongue weight of 675 lbs and a maximum gross trailer weight of 4,500 lbs.

Please keep in mind that you will need to check your owner's manual for your vehicle's tow rating. Your hitch receiver will be limited to the lower weight between your vehicle and the hitch receiver. You can find this information in your owner's manual. I typically go with the hitch receiver with the highest maximum tongue and maximum gross trailer weights. The most weight you wlll be able to tow with any version of your 2022 GMC Acadia, that is not the AT4 trim level, is 3,505 lbs. With that in mind, my recommendation is the Draw-Tite Max. I am not a fan of gloss black finishes and the Draw-Tite hitch receiver does not have that finish.

I have included product descriptions and two installation video links below.
