Expert Reply:

For your 2018 Buick Regal TourX I'd recommend the Curt hitch part # C12173 over the Draw Tite # 36661 although both are really great options with a similar design. The reason I recommend the Curt is that in general we see the best quality control from their hitches and it seems the powdercoat is a little stronger which prevents flaking and corrosion.

Then for trailer wiring you will need the Curt T-Connector part # C56389 as it installs the easiest and is a great harness.

Then for a ball mount you'd want the part # 36071 and for balls part # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or part # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.
