Yes, the Curt hitch part # e98865 is the correct fit for a Class III 2-inch hitch for a 2017 Chevy Equinox. I attached an install video for more info on this hitch for you to check out as well.

If 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.

Then for trailer wiring you would want the part # 118494 which I attached an install video for as well.

Clive, realistically there is no difference between the Curt T-Connector #C56431 and the Tekonsha T-One #22124. The only real difference is one is made by Tekonsha and one is made by Curt. The Curt also does come with Zip ties and a protective cover…
