Your 2020 Chevy Traverse is prewired for a brake controller. Instead of a connector, there are 4 blunt cut tow package wires located under the dash below and behind where the headlight switch is located. These wires will directly connect with the wires of the pigtail included with your brake controller.

The wire bundle should be taped to a larger wiring harness, and will usually have a white tag or label on it. The 4 wires will connect as follows: The blue tow package wire connects to the blue wire on the brake controller pigtail, the light blue and white striped tow package wire connects to the red pigtail wire, the red and black or red and blue striped tow package wire connects to the black pigtail wire and the black tow package wire connects to the white pigtail wire.

If you don't already have a 7-way trailer connector, you can easily install one using part # 118287, I'll link to a video showing how it's installed.
