Expert Reply:
I recommend using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76184 for your 2023 Chevrolet Traverse. This will place your receiver behind the factory receiver panel giving you a clean factory appearance when you are not towing. For the wiring I recommend installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118287 and replacing the included 7-way with the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket # HM40975. This connector will fit better behind the cover and has both a 4-way flat and 7-way blade connector to work on most trailers.
You will be able to connect the Curt Echo In-Line Wireless Brake Controller # C79DR in line with your 7-way. This will be needed when towing a trailer with electric brakes. You will be able to easily adjust the brakes using your smart phone with the Curt Echo app. This will eliminate the need to install an in cab controller and running additional wiring.
