The overall width of a 2023 Buick Enclave (not including the mirrors) is 78.7" so 50" crossbars like the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 most likely wouldn't extend past the roof of the vehicle. We don't currently have a picture of them mounted on your specific vehicle, but you can do a bit of measuring to see exactly how far this would stick out. If you have flush mounted rails that run from the front to the back then you can measure across to see the spacing and determine how much... view full answer...

Hey Edwin, the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BLU43FR is a confirmed fit for a 2021 Buick Encore GX AWD and would work great with a Blue Ox tow bar like the part # BX7420.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front... view full answer...
The Replacement Switch for Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect, part # RM57ZR, is not weatherproof. One of the installation requirements of the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect with Switch for Towed Vehicle w/ Supplemental Braking System, part # RM-766, is that it needs to be protected from direct road spray. In my opinion, the wheel well would provide too much spray and the switch and/or solenoid would get wet.

Compatible? Yes. The best choice? I would have to disagree.
The Roadmaster InvisiBrake # RM-8700 is a good option for your 2022 Buick Encore GX Sport Touring in it's own right, but I don't feel like it's the best braking system. Here are the part I recommend for to flat tow your Encore:
Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - # RM45VR
etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar - # e74ZR (with safety cables)
7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit - # RM-152-1676-7
Automatic Battery Disconnect - # RM-766

The Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM62FR is needed because the brake light switch wire of the 2020 Buick Encore GX isn't useable and this simulates the braking signal so that it can be sent out to the braking system. This allows you to see when the brakes are being applied while flat towing, which is important because you can easily verify if the brakes are activating when they shouldn't be or not activating when they need to so that you can pull over and troubleshoot the issue.

When it comes to installing a trailer hitch onto your 2023 Buick Encore GX I recommend The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C94UR. I recommend this trailer hitch because it will offer enough ground clearance for a bike rack, so you will not have to worry about the bike rack bottoming out. Just for noting that this hitch is not intended for models with the tailgate sensor. The trailer hitch has a bolt on installation.
When it comes to hauling your mountain bike around I recommend The Thule... view full answer...
I checked with Blue Ox just now and confirmed that the base plate kit part # BLU43FR does fit your 2022 Buick Encore GX AWD. This actually does not fit the Sport Touring models but does fit yours.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. One of the most popular compatible tow bars is the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 which comes with safety cables. The coiled design helps keep the cables... view full answer...

For vehicles like your 2021 Buick Encore GX that have to have the battery disconnected to flat tow you would power the Roadmaster stoplight switch part # RM62FR from the battery directly. In the attached instructions it shows that you can use either as a power source and in your situation you'd need to use the battery directly. view full answer...
First you will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C94UR for your 2023 Buick Encore GX. The Curt Drawbar # C45522 will then be paired with either a 1-7/8" # C40001 or 2" # C40018 hitch ball to match the coupler. I recommend then using the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock and Coupler Lock Set # 3794DAT to secure the ball mount to your Encore and have locks to secure the trailer to your Encore or while in storage.
For the 4-way wiring you will need either the T-One Vehicle Wiring... view full answer...
For your 2022 Buick Encore GX, you're going to need a high low adapter, a base plate, a tow bar, wiring a braking system, and safety cables.
Let's start with a base plate, I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM32FR. This base plate creates a clean design when not in use and allow for quick connection and disconnection.
Next, you'll need a tow bar. For this, I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 2 # RM-520. This tow bar is capable of handling up to 6,000lbs, which is... view full answer...
Roadmaster released a tech bulletin about why the positive needs to be removed instead of following the vehicle's owner's manual and disconnecting the negative post cable. The reason is because if you use the disconnect on the negative side you'll lose your towed vehicle's main ground to the chassis. This means that all of the accessories that need to operate on the toad must be grounded through the connection to the motorhome which is too small of a gauge and the distance is too great... view full answer...
