Hey Tom! I would be happy to help you get the parts you need to flat tow your 2017 GMC Terrain. Demco does make some great products for a really nice setup. The best part about that is they also make our etrailer line of base plate kits and tow bars so you can get the same quality and save some money. You will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, wiring, and a supplemental brake system. I recommend the following:
-etrailer Classic Base Plate Kit - Fixed Arms # e98964
-etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR (includes safety cables)
-Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Way to 6-Way Coiled Adapter Cord # RM-15267
-Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25
-Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass Switch for Towed Vehicles # RM-76517
-Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes # SM99251
The only other thing you may need is a high-low adapter to keep you level. I went ahead and attached a help article further down on this page which explains how to measure and choose the right adapter for your setup. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to reply in the comments below.
