We have everything you'll need to tow a small cargo trailer with your 2017 Buick Enclave. The first thing you need is a hitch like the etrailer # e98863 which has the 5,000 lb trailer weight capacity you are wanting and is also hidden behind the rear bumper cover when not in use. Then for trailer wiring the Tekonsha kit part # 118270 is the best option as it installs easily and is very reliable. I attached an install video for this and the hitch for you to check out as well.

Since 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.
