Does a GMC Acadia Need an Upgraded Fuse Panel to Add Trailer Wiring

Updated 09/12/2011 | Published 09/09/2011

Question:

I called my dealer and they said the fuse panel had to be replaced with one called the V92 for towing. Will this product work without replacing the V92 module? I am only towing a tent trailer and dont want to spend $800 for them to put it in.

What I believe the dealer is suggesting is that if you wanted to add the tow package wiring, you would need that different fuse panel and some other components. This would then give you a 7-Way trailer connector at the back.

If you do not want to add the towing package and just need a 4-Way, you can use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118451, without having to upgrade the fuse panel or anything else. This harness was made for those vehicles that do not have the tow package wiring.

I have included a link to the installation details and a link to a video showing a typical installation for you.
