It sure is! I've put together the parts you need to get your 2021 Chevrolet Traverse on the road. First if you have Adaptive Cruise Control you will want to get the Blue Ox Baseplate # BX1738. If you do not have the Adaptive Cruise Control, you will need this baseplate # RM-523200-5.
Then, you need a Brake Light Switch Kit for your Traverse # RM-751483 and a 12V Outlet Kit # RM-9332. If you have a portable braking system that requires a 12V outlet while towing then you will need the 12V outlet kit but if you don't, it is not needed.
You'll need the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 for your wiring. Since you're using a Blue Ox Baseplate, I would use the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar # BX7380.
Now for braking, you have options. Based on your preference, the best portable breaking system I would say is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR. If you're looking for air brakes then go with the Demco SBS Air Force One # SM99243 and if you want a hydraulic system get the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251.
If you don't know what you want, I recommend going with the portable braking system.
I have a bunch of videos for you to watch to help you learn more about the parts and install so be sure to check those out!
