I would be happy to help you. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # DT55GR is a confirmed fit your 2021 Buick Encore GX. It is a 2" Class III hitch receiver that has a maximum tongue weight of 525 lbs and a maximum gross trailer weight of 3,500 lbs. It is custom fit and bolts directly to your Buick with included hardware. Its behind the bumper installation means there will be no visible crossbar and only the 2" x 2" receiver will be visible.

For a wiring harness you will want the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # TK39FR. This plugs directly into existing wiring and will provide a 4-way connection to power your trailer's signal lights.

To round out your towing setup I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. It also includes a hitch pin and clip, hitch receiver lock with keys, hitch cover, and a storage case.
