I do have an option for you, but from what I could find the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse's do not come pre wired for a trailer brake controller.
If your Traverse already has a 4-way connector then you would just need to use the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 to adapt that 4-way into the 7-way needed for a brake controller. If your Traverse does not have a 4-way connector then you can use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118761 which is confirmed to fit your 2022 Chevrolet Traverse to get a 4-way. The only way to get a 7-way on your Traverse is to adapt a 4-way into a 7-way. I also recommend picking up the Curt No-Drill Bracket # C57202 to mount the 7-way to your hitch with the included 7-way bracket in the # ETBC7 kit.
For a brake controller I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR which is a proportional brake controller that will take up minimal space in your traverse. You will also need the Universal Wiring Harness # RED69FR to wire the controller into your Traverse. To provide a cleaner look when installed you can also add the Universal Mounting Panel for Redarc # 331-TPSI-001.
If you are needing a ball mount or hitch we have the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900 and the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e56YR.
