A great option for your 2020 GMC Acadia is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76023. It's sleek look blends-in nicely and looks like it came with your Acadia stock when you bought it. Included is a customer's installed hitch as an example. This hitch is powder coated for superior corrosion resistance and the 2" receiver can accommodate a variety of hitch accessories like steps # BBS-1102 and bike racks # KU74FR just list a few.
With towing being the ultimate goal however, a wiring harness like the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118276 is a great choice to provide all the trailer light functions, 12V power, reverse lights, and also sets you up for a brake controller should you need one later. You will need the mounting bracket # PK12711U to complete the installation of this 7-way connector. A ball mount like the Curt Class III Ball Mount # C45036 is a great choice to complete your setup as well. It's always important to make sure you have sufficient rise or drop in your ball mount and that you have the correct size hitch ball so attached are a couple of Help Article resources for any questions there.
