Expert Answers about Buick Envision


  • Parts Needed To Flat Tow 2017 Buick Envision
  • The Blue Ox SwayPro, such as the # BXW1000, is a product line of weight distribution hitches with sway control systems. This is for use with trailers and not used on flat towing passenger vehicles. To flat tow your 2017 Buick Envision, you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, supplemental braking system, wiring harness, and possibly high-low adapter. I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, # BX1518 which feature removable tabs for an inconspicuous look while not in...

  • Comparing Roadmaster InvisiBrake and Demco Air Force One Brake Systems for a 2020 Buick Envision
  • The NSA Ready Brute Elite tow bar is a pretty iconic system and while we have carried it in the past, that was long enough ago that we don't really have too much information on the system anymore. I will say that while I do like the idea of having the brake system integrated with the tow bar, it does make me a little skeptical at how well it performs just because of all of the different moving parts involved. When talking about the Roadmaster InvisiBrake # RM-8700 and the Demco Air Force...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Interfere With Hands-Free Lift Gate Sensor On A 2022 Buick Envision
  • We have had instances of a trailer hitch interfering with sensors, such as the automatic lift gate. While we do get some information about sensors causing interference from our installations, oftentimes it is from our customers. Unfortunately, the 2022 Buick Envision is fairly new and we have yet to receive any information form reviews about sensor interference with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2", part # C94ER. Typically the trailer hitch interferes with the...

  • Does Rear Bumper of 2022 Buick Envision Remove to Install Curt Hitch
  • We have had some feedback from customers who had installed the Curt hitch # C94ER on a 2022 Buick Envision and the consensus seems to be that the exhaust needs to lower for the hitch to fit past it. This would be easier than removing the rear bumper and is a pretty standard step for most hitch installs. It basically comes down to removing the hitch hangers which are rubber isolators that secure it to the vehicle and letting it hang a little lower.

  • Will Saris SA4025F SuperClamp EX Bike Rack Clear Bumper of 2016 Buick Envision
  • I'm a little confused about the specific bike rack you're speaking of. Are you speaking of the Saris SuperClamp EX 2, part # SA4025F or the Saris Freedom 2, part # SA4412B? These are two different bike racks. The Freedom 2 doesn't tilt rearward for access to the rear of the vehicle, and holds the bikes by the seat post or top tube. The SuperClamp EX 2 holds the bikes by the tires, and can fold up against the rear of the vehicle for storage and can tilt rearward away from the vehicle with...

  • Supplemental Braking System for 2017 Buick Envision
  • A supplemental braking system is a requirement in most states now, so you would need to consult your local state laws to find out if it is required where you live. Even if it is not, a supplemental braking system is a very good idea because it makes flat towing a vehicle such as your 2017 Buick Envision much safer because it will allow your RV to stop at a quicker pace. A supplemental system is also going to put much less strain on the braking system and chassis of your RV and Buick which...

  • Can Rear View Safety Universal System part # RVS-770619N be On All the Time
  • It is possible to wire the Rear View Safety Universal System part # RVS-770619N so that it can come on when driving forward. You'd just want to use the running light circuit as the trigger circuit instead of the reverse light circuit. This way any time you put on the running or head lights you'd be able to see behind you.

  • Unlocking Steering Wheel of 2019 Buick Envision to Flat Tow it
  • So another thing you might try is putting the vehicle in neutral like you mentioned and then with the engine off pressing the start engine button with your foot off of the brake. That is normally what it takes to unlock the steering wheel of a car with a push button start. It should put it into ACC mode which will then unlock the wheel.

  • Troubleshooting Supplemental Braking Issues On A 2017 Buick Envision
  • The Brake Buddy Classic 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39494 activates off of inertia so the e-assisted brakes on your motorhome will actually help the Brake Buddy work less hard. If the breakaway pin was removed or you're having issues with the line that communicates to the breakaway that would cause the Brake Buddy to depress the brake pedal. You could also have an issue where you could be braking and the Brake Buddy is doing its job depressing the brake pedal and then intermittently...

  • Can 2019 Buick Envision All Wheel Drive be Flat Towed
  • Yes you can. I pulled up the owners manual of your 2019 Buick Envision and you can flat tow the front wheel drive and the all wheel drive models of the vehicle. Only thing different with the AWD is that you can't dolly tow it. See page 310 of your owners manual for more info. The first thing you'll need is a base plate kit which for that you'd want the Blue Ox part # BX1518 as it's the easiest to use overall. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety...

  • Recommended Tow Dolly For Front Wheel Drive Buick Envision With Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Unfortunately at this point there is not a baseplate that will allow for the adaptive cruise control. I have a solution for you if it is a front wheel drive vehicle, but not if it is an all wheel drive vehicle. If it is front wheel drive, your owners manual states that you can tow it with the front wheels off the ground. I recommend the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs # RM-2050-1. A tow dolly is really your only option, other than a trailer, so I hope you have...

  • Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System Compatibility With A 2020 Buick Envision
  • I spoke with the manufacturer to verify any issues with the compatibility if your 2020 Buick Envision and the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System Item # RM-8700 and confirmed that you will have no issues linking into the vacuum system with the tee and installing the check valve. I have attached an installation video to help you as well. When flat towing your vehicle you'll also need to remove fuse 29 & 32. You can install the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass Switch for...

  • Hitch for 2018 Buick Envision with Highest Tongue Weight Rating
  • The trailer hitch we offer for your 2018 Buick Envision that has the highest tongue weight rating is the Draw Tite part # 76080 which is rated for 675 lbs of tongue weight. I pulled up the towing capacity of your vehicle and it rated for only 1,500 lbs trailer weight so even if we had a higher rated hitch there wouldn't be a way to put 800 lbs on your hitch.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2020 Buick Envision
  • I can definitely help you out with a flat towing setup for your 2020 Buick Envision! You can definitely use the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 523196-4 with the Adapter # RM-033 so that the base plate kit is compatible with a Blue Ox tow bar, but in all honesty it would be much easier to use the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523196-5 with the Adapter Kit # BX88185 instead because you don't have a whole bar that you need to use as an adapter. I'm guessing that...

  • Recommendations for Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2018 Buick Envision
  • You are on the right track for sure. As far as ease of use and performance the best option for supplemental braking would be the SMI DUO part # SM99251 over the Invisibrake. The DUO is our installers favorite kit as it's the simplest to install of the permanent install kits and works the best while being very reliable. As far as the tow bar and base plate the Roadmaster products will work very well. The EZ5 kit part # RM-523188-5 is a confirmed fit and the Sterling tow bar part # RM-576...

  • How is Power Supplied to the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO
  • I'll start off by saying that aside from a supplemental braking system, there are a couple of other components you're going to need in order to flat tow your 2019 Buick Envision; flat towing requires base plates, a tow bar, tow bar wiring, safety cables and most likely a high/low adapter. You've made a good choice by choosing the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251 as your supplemental braking system. This system is powered via a connection with the battery on your 2019 Buick Envision....

  • We can get your 2021 Buick Envision set up with a 7-way that also has a 4-flat so you can plug in either a 7-way or 4-way trailer connector. The first thing you will need is 4-way (if your '21 Envision does not already have one): - With Factory Trailer Connector: Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56325 The 4-way is needed to activate your trailer's lighting functions, and it will then plug into the 7-way, and for that, along with the rest of the wiring for the install, you'll need the following...
