As far as the Curt # C13293 and the Draw-Tite # 76023 for a 2021 GMC Acadia, the Curt is only compatible with non-AT4 models whiile the Draw-Tite is compatible with both AT4 and non-AT4 models. Also, the Curt has a 750 pound maximum tongue weight capacity/5,000 pound gross towing capacity while the Draw-Tite has a 675 pound max tongue weight/4,500 pound maximum gross towing capacity.
Another thing to consider is ground clearance and bumper clearance. For the Curt, it has a ground clearance of 14 inches and a bumper clearance measurement of 6 inches. The Draw-Tite has a ground clearance of 15-3/4 inches and a bumper clearance of 4-3/4 inches.
As far as a recommendation, I recommend the Draw-Tite for both AT4 and non-AT4 models because of the increased ground clearance and a shorter bumper clearance. Also, it has enough weight capacity for most uses.
If you need trailer wiring and a ball mount, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # 118720 along with the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches - 2" Ball # C45534.
