When we installed the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76080 on a similar 2017 Buick Envision we found that from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver was 16-1/2".
To determine which ball mount will have the correct rise or drop for your trailer, you will need to level your trailer and measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. If the trailer coupler is lower than 16-1/2" you will need a ball mount with a drop that matches the difference, and if the coupler is higher than 16-1/2" you will need a ball mount with a rise that matches the difference.
A ball mount like the Draw-Tite Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 2-3/4" Rise, 4" Drop - 9" Long - 7.5K # 2753 would be a great option if you need 2-3/4" rise or 4" drop. This ball mount would require 1-7/8" hitch ball # 19260 or 2" hitch ball # 63845 to match the coupler on your trailer.
If you need a different rise/drop I linked all of our 2" ball mounts for you to take a look at. You will want one that is between 7" - 9" long to clear the bumper on your Envision.
I included videos of the products mentioned, and a link to a helpful article on measuring for the correct ball mount for you to take a look at.
