  • Will the Thule Gateway Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2015 Buick Encore
  • Yes. Thule, the manufacturer of the Gateway trunk mount bike rack # TH88VR, has done testing and determined that it does fit the 2015 Buick Encore! I have linked a video featuring this bike rack for you. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have linked a...

  • Trailer Hitch and Hitch Adapter Recommendation for 2019 Buick Encore Carrying Kuat NV

  • Is There A Hitch and Wiring Available For A 2015 Buick Encore
  • We do have hitches available for the 2015 Buick Encore with Class I Curt hitch part # C11527. I did take a look at your owner's manual and there is not a towing capacity listed because Buick does not recommend using this vehicle to tow a trailer because it is not designed to handle the extra weight. If you still plan on doing some towing, you will need a wiring harness to illuminate the trailer lights with part # 118588 and a 1-1/4" hitch compatible ball mount. You will need to do some...

  • Which Roof Basket Will Fit Onto The Flush Rails On My 2015 Buick Encore?
  • I am not sure which aftermarket rails you might be referring to. If you have flush rails running front to back and no crossbars then you will first need to install crossbars such as Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 along with Legs # RRSX040. Then you can add a roof basket like Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs # TH859XT. The Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep # C18115 you were looking at is not able to fit...

  • Will Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier Fit on 2019 Buick Encore with Rear Hatch
  • The Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier # TH910XT is compatible with your 2019 Buick Encore with the rear hatch. Just like with any other trunk mount rack you will need to remove the bikes and the bike rack prior to opening up your rear hatch. Reason being that the hooks used to mount the bike rack can possibly damage your vehicle, the straps could get loose, plus the rear hatch wasn't designed to hold that kind of weight so it could cause the hatch to close unexpectantly on you. The only way...

  • Interior Dimensions of Thule Sup and Surfboard Pads
  • Thank you for the picture of your crossbars. The interior width of the Thule SUP and Surfboard Pads # TH846000 you referenced are 11 1/4" with the pad opened. They fit most aero, elliptical and factory cross bars. These give you 2 more inches than compared to your current ones, and by the looks of your cross bars these will work great. I also included a photo a short review video for you to check out.

  • Trailer Hitch Options For 2015 Buick Encore To Replace Damaged Trailer Hitch
  • I am sorry to hear about the trailer hitch you had on your 2015 Encore. I am curious though. Can you tell me what you had on the hitch at the time? If the hitch was installed properly and you were not carrying something that exceeded the weight capacity, the hitch should not have bent like that and certainly should not have hit the ground. The Curt hitch # C11527 is the only hitch that we carry for your Encore at this time. The Curt hitch # C11527 requires that all non-trailer loads...

  • Will Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack # TH599000 Fit 2019 Buick Encore with Factory Crossbars
  • Yes, the Thule UpRide Rooftop Bike Carrier # TH599000 will work on the factory crossbars of your 2019 Buick Encore, which has a crossbar spread of 27-1/2 inches. You should be able to open up your rear hatch door without any problems, but you can take a quick measurement just to be sure. With your rear hatch open, measure 49-1/2 inches back (toward the rear of the vehicle) from the front edge of the front crossbar on your Enclave. This is the space that will be occupied by the Canyon's...

  • Availability of Class III Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Buick Encore
  • The highest class rating for a trailer hitch that fits your 2016 Buick Encore is the Class I Curt # C11527 with the 1-1/4" receiver. While this isn't a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver, it will still do a great job at helping you to transport cargo or up to 2 bikes. If you let me know what you're needing the trailer hitch for I can help you choose any other parts you're needing. I have attached an installation video of the Curt on a 20195 Encore that you can check out. The Curt # 13424...

  • Trailer Hitch and Enclosed Cargo Carrier for a 2014 Buick Encore
  • First, for a trailer hitch, for your 2014 Buick Encore is the Curt # C11527. This is a Class I hitch so it will be compatible with some hitch mounted cargo carriers. It will not work with the Yakima EXO # Y62VR because this carrier requires a class III hitch or above. There are no enclosed carriers that will work with a class I hitch. Instead, I recommend the 19 X 47 flat Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110 You will need to determine the weight capacity of your vehicle and make sure that the...

  • Comparing the Trail Rider # HR200Z and the Curt # C18085 Bike Racks for a 2018 Buick Encore
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11527 on your 2018 Buick Encore is a class I hitch. Only the the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z will be compatible with your hitch. The Curt # C18085 is a very similar rack in almost every way except it is only rated for class II and class II hitches so it will not work for you. The # HR200Z is a good choice and can secure up to 2 bikes that weigh 45 lbs each by the frame with its hooks and it measures 12-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin...

  • Hitch For 2021 Buick Encore
  • Adding a hitch to any vehicle is a great addition and gives you plenty of options for anything you may be transporting. Although there is not an option for a hidden hitch for your vehicle at this time, I do suggest the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver Item # C11527. Whether you are looking to add accessories, or tow a small trailer, this 1-1/4" hitch is more than capable. It provides a tongue weight rating of 200 pounds along with a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 pounds. When...

  • Will a Paddle Fit Inside the Thule Sidekick Roof Mounted Cargo Carrier Box
  • The Thule Sidekick Roof Mounted Cargo Carrier Box part # TH78GC has inside dimensions of 50" long x 23" wide. Therefore, if the object in question did not exceed this it would fit just fine inside. If you wanted to free space up inside the box you could also use the Malone Paddle Carrier part # MPG121 which is designed specially for paddles and other longer objects.
