At the time the answer you are referring to was written, Curt trailer hitch # 36554 was not a confirmed fit for the 2015 Buick Encore and now it has been discontinued.
At this time, the only hitch that we have for your 2015 Buick Encore is the Curt Class I hitch # C11527. The # C11527 replaced the C11358 that your mentioned.
If you plan on towing with the hitch the correct ball mount is # 36071. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. And for trailer wiring... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
Many Buick Encore owners elect to install a hitch receiver, like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C11527, on their vehicle in order to transport their bicycles with a hitch mounted rack. Due to the fact that the owner's manual for your 2013 Buick Encore states that this vehicle is neither designed nor intended to tow a trailer, a towing or tongue weight capacity for your vehicle is not provided.
While many people do it, I cannot recommend going against the owner's manual when it comes... view full answer...
Yes, the trailer hitch # C11527 is a confirmed fit for the 2015 Buick Encore. If you plan on doing some towing the correct ball mount is # 36071 and you can use 1-7/8 inch ball # 19256 or 2 inch ball # 19258. For trailer wiring you can use # 118588.
If you are not towing, and using it for a bike rack or a cargo carrier, you will also need the stabilizer strap # 18050. view full answer...
Yes. The Curt # C11527 is also a fit for the AWD versions of the 2016 Buick Encore. You've made a good choice with the Curt hitch, since their powder coating tends to be a little bit more durable than the other available hitches for your Encore so it will hold up to some of the nicks in the coating that can occur on these hitches. That's ultimately going to help limit corrosion and make sure that your hitch lasts for as long as it's on your vehicle.

The Draw Tite hitch # 75908 only fits Kia Sorentos and Hyundai Santa Fe models so you'd need a new hitch for your 2021 Buick Encore like the Curt # C11527 since the vehicles are very different. view full answer...
While a class I receiver like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11527 for your 2020 Buick Encore is rated to tow up to 2,000lbs with up to 200lbs of tongue weight, I do see a note in your owners manual stating "Never tow a trailer with your vehicle. It was not designed or intended to tow a trailer." While it is your vehicle and ultimately comes down to you if you decide if your going to tow you will want to keep the weight as low as possible.
You will want to use a light trailer like... view full answer...
In order to determine whether or not you'll have enough room to use the The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH12G on your 2019 Buick Encore you'll need to measure the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole on your Draw-Tite # 36554 hitch to the furthest edge of your bumper. I should also note, using a hitch extender like the Brophy # HES6 reduces the tongue weight of your hitch by 50%- so if your bikes and rack combined weigh more than 150-lbs this is not a good option.
The Kuat Sherpa has 7-1/2"... view full answer...
The controller is essentially the brains of the system so swapping out the condenser unit on the roof should not affect the system's ability to control the furnace. The thermostat allows you to communicate with the controller which then communicates with the condenser to activate the system just like it does with the furnace. The Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner # ACCAR150B comes with a wire harness adapter so that you can easily plug the unit right into the controller and avoid... view full answer...
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. view full answer...
Class I hitches are only rated for 2 bikes, even if the carrier could hold more.
As for it not being leveled, that doesn't sound right. I attached a picture of a hitch installed here at etrailer and you can see it does not have a downward slant. I attached the installation manual below and you can watch the attached video as well. I recommend taking it back to the shop to make sure they installed it properly before you put any bike racks on it. view full answer...
For your 2014 Buick Encore, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11527. It is a confirmed fit for your vehicle, and I've attached the installation video and instructions to assist. This hitch is a custom fit for 2013-2022 Buick Encore models. view full answer...
The Curt Class I hitch # C11527 is rated for 200 lb tongue weight and 2,000 lbs towing, most small utility/motorcycle trailers and one dirt bike would be less than this max range; please reference your trailer and motorcycles weight for an accurate assessment. I highly recommend that you refer to your specific vehicle's owner's manual prior to towing. My research, the online manual I have available (Part No. 84098804 B Second Printing), has a statement on p197 "The vehicle is neither... view full answer...
When towing a vehicle on a dolly like the part # RM-2050-1 that you referenced you need the steering wheel to be locked so that around corners the dolly fenders don't hit the door or fender of the vehicle.
If your steering wheel doesn't lock when the key is off you can use your seat belt to lock it. Wrap the seat belt a couple times around the steering wheel and then buckle it in place. Now pull the seat belt all the way out so that as you let it retract it locks. Now your wheel will be locked. view full answer...
You can use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # C45785 with the Class I Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11527 on your 2016 Buick Encore but the problem is that the adapter reduces the overall weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50%. This means that this trailer hitch will be able to tow 1,000 lbs and has a tongue weight capacity of 100 lbs. The other thing to note is that you will experience more play in the receiver with the adapter.

Yes, as long as you have at least 4 inches of crossbar overhang on each side of your 2019 Buick Encore the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898 will work great. The carrier is compatible with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars # RRVA126B-2.
This is a really nice kayak carrier that will greatly reduce the pain and energy it normally takes to load a kayak onto the roof of your Encore and it can secure 1 kayak that's up to 75 pounds. All the needed tie-down straps are included.

Yes, the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier # TH911XT is confirmed to fit your 2017 Buick Encore. Please note that if any of your bikes does not have a horizontal top tube then you'll need the adapter bar # TH982XT to keep the bike level and gain the best ground clearance.
To add bike and rack locks to this rack you need the Passive Security Strap # TH533 and a cable lock like part # e98891. view full answer...
