Question:

What's the differences between the hitches for a 2020 GMC Acadia? I'm not sure which one I need.

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. I've provided you with side by side photos of what the hitches would look like once they're in place, as well as with some links to installation videos for both hitches.

If you'll be towing with your hitch, you'll want to add a wiring harness and a ball mount, pin and clip and trailer ball to complete your towing system. For the wiring, use part # 118276. You'll also need a bracket to attach the trailer connector to the hitch crossbar, which would consist of # 18136 and # 18138. I'd also recommend the # 989900 ball mount kit which includes 2 ball mounts, two trailer balls and two hitch pins.
