The best hitch for towing with a 2015 Chevy Equinox is the etrailer part # e98865 because it is priced the best and has the highest towing capacities. The hitch is rated for towing up to 3,500 lbs but you need to check the owner's manual to determine if the vehicle has a lower capacity than that. You will need to go by the lowest rated component as the overall capacity. I attached an install video 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.

For trailer wiring you then would want the part # 118494 which is a confirmed fit too.
