Quickly and easily install a 7-way, RV-style trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom wiring harness. T-One connector plugs into OEM tow package wiring harness - no cutting, splicing or tapping required.

All the wiring was already in the vehicle. They first sold me the wrong harness. After inspection I called and returned it for full credit and received the correct one and installed it. Its works great and the dealer had no idea how to wire the car.

Works great! dealer contractor wanted $850 to install a brake controller. E-trailer around $350



by:

Product was received long before the scheduled delivery date. Their videos made installation a breeze. I did not have to lift my vehicle nor fully drop the exhaust for install. I did however have to use a step bit to make the access larger which was no big deal. Solid purchase.



by:

Great product and informative people. Product reviews and installation videos were very helpful.The included installation instructions were very basic and could have been a bit more detailed but if you watch the videos, it all makes sense and it makes for a an easy installation.

I was the installer in this vehicle application. I can tell you apon doing so the instillation was straight forward. My friends vehicle and to this day he continues to pull his boat and trailer without issues. Great product and I am a retuning customer with several vehicle applications I have done. Thank you friend no worries.



by:

Yes, the hitch and the wiring harness all worked out well. Needed a friend to install the hitch. Everything was included and bolted up with no problems. Wiring harness plugged in to factory wiring. Satisfied, would recommend to XT5 owners wanting to tow small to medium trailers. Thanks again, good product.

2017 arcadia Acadia

Work well for my 2017 Arcadia which is a newly designed model. I was not sure if this item would be an exact "plug in" for my application considering my vehicle did not come with a factory trailer package. etrailer did some checking with the manufacturer to verify it would be and easy plug in. It did plug in and worked perfectly.



by:

etrailer has excellent customer service personnel, who are knowledgeable, very friendly and polite. They have timely communications about your order, shipment and delivery.

The quality of the products that I have purchased from them has always been very good.

The instruction videos are thorough and will safe you many installation problems. I just installed a hidden trailer hitch on my 2020 GMC Acadia Denali without problems by using the video as my guide.

2017 Cadillac XT5

Watch video on removal of dust covers one of them is real tricky on Cadillac ZT5. My on concern about the hitch is the 7 way plug is round and the bracket is oval so they don't work together. All in all nice setup!



by:

etrailer is my "go-to" source for anything related to towing, RVs or trailer building. Always fast shipping and great customer service.



by:

Everything fit together perfectly. Make sure you order s mounting bracket for your connector. I forgot and wished I had at the time of ordering. Hardest part was removing the original dust covers off of car wiring harness.

The linked install video shows the plugs being removed beginning at the 1:40 mark. If the dummy plug is hard to remove, it can be pried away gently with a small screwdriver.

No problems with it.

This product was a perfect fit for my 2019 Acadia. The instructions and even video were spot on. I couldn't ask for a better experience. Etrailer has exceeded all my expectations as an online resource. I am a mechanic and business owner and I did not expect this kind of support with video instruction from an online retailer. I will continue to use and promote etrailer to all my friends, family, and customers.

Thanks etrailer for making my life easier.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2019 GMC Acadia Without the Factory Tow Package
    From the information I can find I believe your 2019 GMC Acadia will have the wiring routed back towards the rear of your vehicle whether you have the factory tow package or not (see attached photo). If you check up under the rear bumper of your Acadia you should find the wiring harness that you would plug the T-One # 118720 (for a 4-Way) or # 118276 (for a 7-Way) into. I have attached some installation videos on a 2017 Acadia as well as the written instructions for you to reference. I like...

    The trailer hitch we offer that is designed for your 2017 Acadia is the Draw-Tite, part # 76023. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. If you are mechanically inclined you should be able to install the hitch with no problem. If you are not comfortable you can have a trusted mechanic complete the installation for you. I am attaching the installation instructions in a separate email. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2020 GMC Acadia
    We have everything that you need to start towing with your 2020 GMC Acadia! I recommend using the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76023 because it mounts behind the rear bumper and has a very clean look with the lower panel removed. Then for wiring I recommend pairing the T-One # 118276 with the Hopkins # HM40975 which gives you a plug and play wiring kit with both 4-Way and 7-Way connectors.

    The best hitch for your 2023 GMC Acadia is going to be the etrailer Hitch item # e36AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your GMC with included hardware. I really like the etrailer hitch because it installs behind your rear bumper cover and can be completely hidden when you are not towing. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver.

    Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e62AR will include the 6 fish wires to install the six 7/16" carriage bolts and square hole spacers. I recommend installing either the Tekonsha 4-Way Flat # 118720 or 7-Way # 118276 when you install the receiver on your 2022 Cadillac XT5. These will connect to the factory wiring and allow you to connect different trailers.

    Hello MJ, We can definitely get you set up with a hitch. For your 2023 GMC Acadia you will want the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e36AR. Great thing about our etrailer hitch is that it comes in a matte black finish which I think gives it that OEM look. If you are looking to tow something without brakes, or using a hitch mounted accessory that needs a 4 flat connector, you want the # C56325. If you are looking to tow something a little...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For a 2023 Cadillac XT5
    I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e62AR for your 2003 Cadillac XT5. This receiver is custom fit to conceal itself behind the factory removable panel. You have the option of the 4-Way Harness # 118720 or 7-Way Harness # 118276. Both will connect to the factory connectors on your XT5. You will need the Mounting Brackets # 18140 and # 18144 to secure the 4-way to the receiver. Or the Mounting Brackets # 18140 and # PK12711U for the 7-way harness.

I prefer this receiver over others as it uses the matte black finish which best accents the OEM fascia trim and I find is more durable. I recommend installing either the 4-Way Flat T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118720 or 7-Way T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118276 when you install the receiver.

The Draw-Tite is designed to fit as the factory receiver would and hides behind the removable fascia panel.

  • Differences Between Available Trailer Hitches for 2020 GMC Acadia
    The main difference between the two is that the Draw-Tite Class III, part # 76023 is mostly concealed behind the bumper, more like the OEM hitch would be, and the Curt # C13293 installs so that the receiver tube is right under the rear bumper fascia. Because of this, the Draw-Tite offers a better appearance as well as a couple of inches of additional ground clearance.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For a 2023 GMC Acadia
    I recommend using the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76023 on your 2023 GMC Acadia. This receiver fits behind the factory cutout in your rear bumper fascia hiding it when not needed. You will need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118276 along with a Mounting Bracket # PK12711U to attach to the tab welded on the receiver above. This will give you a 7-way connector which you can also use an Adapter # PK12716 to also connect to a trailer with 4-way flat connector.

  • Differences Between Available Hitches for 2020 GMC Acadia
    The primary difference between the two is the height of the receiver tube once the hitch is installed. Both hitches use a crossbar that tucks up behind the bumper fascia for a clean looking installation but the Draw-Tite # 76023 will sit higher up on the vehicle and extend through the bumper fascia as shown in the provided comparison photo. This provides for improved clearance which could come in handy if you ever back out of steep driveways. For the trailer wiring harness, use part #...
