Question:
Hi I have a 2021 Chevy traverse I’m planning on adding a trailer hitch on . I noticed that you guys have the 7pin and 4 pin wiring harness mount for the car, do you guys have a factory plugin harness that has both a 7pin and 4 connector on it to go with that mount?

When it comes to installing a trailer hitch on your 2021 Chevrolet Traverse I recommend The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2 inch # e56YR. This trailer hitch has a gross towing weight up to 5,000 pounds and has a tongue weight up to 750 pounds. I would check your vehicle's manual to verify what the proper towing capacity is for your vehicle. The hitch has a matte black powder coat finish which is over a protective base coat which offers superior rust resistance.
When it comes to the trailer wiring for your 2021 Chevrolet Traverse that has both functions of a 7 round and 4 flat you will first need The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118287, then you can connect The 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket - Vehicle End # HM40975 into the Tekonsha wiring. This connector eliminates the need for an adapter and allows you to tow a trailer with either a 7 or 4 pole plug. The bracket to mount the system is included.
I also recommend The Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45554. The kit includes the ball mount, the 2 inch hitch ball, and other starter towing accessories.
I have include an installation video link below.
