Expert Reply:

The best hitch for your 2021 GMC Canyon is going to be the etrailer Hitch item # e98909. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Canyon with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It will definitely get the 7,000 lbs towing capacity out of your truck as it is rated for 8,000 lbs.

For a wiring harness, I recommend the Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector item # HM11141144. This harness has both a 4-way and 7-way connector.

I have linked installation videos below for both parts so you can see how to get them set up.

Some other parts you may need to pull a trailer are listed below:

Brake Controller - Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller item # C51180

Ball Mount Kit - Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534
