When you mention a hitch package for your 2017 GMC Terrain Denali, I think you are referring to the hitch receiver and tow wiring. I am happy to say that we have what you are looking for!
For the hitch, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13591. Not only does this hitch provide you with the highest weight capacity we offer for your vehicle, but it also comes with a 2" opening that is compatible with a wider range of accessories than a 1-1/4" model. It also comes with a higher-quality gloss outer coat over the base powder coat that provides you with better protection against rust and corrosion than other brands. To top it all off, the installation is drill-free and only takes about 40 minutes to complete. I went ahead and linked an install video that walks you through the process on your vehicle.
As far as wiring, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118494 (if you do not have a factory tow package) or the # 118264 (if you have the factory tow package). With these harnesses, you will add brake lights, turn signals, and running light functionality to your trailer. If you plan on adding a brake controller, you need the additional Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat - 10 Gauge Wires # ETBC7.
To add a brake controller, I recommend the Curt Echo # C51180. The Echo is a proportional controllers which means that it activates the trailer brakes in proportion to your vehicle's braking action. The Voyager is more of a traditional-style controller that requires mounting into the dashboard of your vehicle near the steering wheel. Additionally, the Curt Echo allows you to control the settings of your controller with the ease of your Smart device. It also doesn't require any additional wiring for installation.
