The Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit (EZ4) # RM-523189-4 fits your 2017 GMC Acadia and is compatible with the StowMaster5000 tow bar. I noticed you said with "all hook ups" but I want to make sure everything is covered, so I am going to list what all is needed to flat tow your Acadia and what I recommend for each item if you don't already have it.

Tow Bar Wiring: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This lets you wire your vehicle to accept your RV's tail, brake, and turn signal lights for flat towing.

Safety Cables: RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643. Safety cables ensure that your towed car does not separate from your motorhome in the event that your tow bar becomes detached.

Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251. The supplemental braking system applies the towed vehicle's brakes in proportion to the braking action of RV, so the towed car's brakes are activated at the same time and with the same intensity as those in your motor home.
