Expert Reply:
The Pollak 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket, part # HM40975 is designed to be a replacement for an OEM 7-way connector on the back of your 2006 Avalanche. If you have a 7-way connector on your truck and you want to replace it with a 4-way and 7-way, then this is the connector you need.
If you are wanting to use the connector in your spare tire well I recommend part # 30955. I have attached a photo of the connector in the spare tire well that this harness connects to you can check out.
If you are looking for a trailer hitch I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # C13422. This is a Class lll trailer hitch and it has a 2 inch receiver opening.
If you plan on doing 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.
