We have all of the components you need to tow a trailer with your 2017 Cadillac XT5 but we don't have the Cadillac brand towing package. The etrailer hitch part # e62AR that you referenced would be the best hitch we offer. It has plenty of towing capacity, a great price, and has great towing capacities. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.

For trailer wiring then you'd need the part # 118720 which would give you a 4-way connector.

Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
