Question:

On the 2020 Traverse does the recommended companion T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector allow for replacing the fascia when not towing, or does it prevent the fascia from being reinstalled?

Helpful Expert Reply:

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # CU29FR for your 2020 Chevy Traverse is recessed pretty far back, so you should not have any issues replacing the fascia after installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118287.

I do recommend going with the shorter bracket for this, the No-Drill Mount for Electrical Mounting Bracket - Short # 18140 with the 7-Way Mounting Bracket # PK12711U.

When plugging the 7-way into the factory socket of your Traverse, you will want to help combat corrosion and shorts by adding Dielectric Grease for Electrical Connectors # 11755.
