Expert Answers about Buick Envision


  • 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...

  • Best Trailer Hitch for 2019 Buick Envision
  • We do have a trailer hitch that fits your 2019 Buick Envision and the best one is the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13405 because of how well hidden it is under your vehicle and because it is a total bolt-on installation which does not require any drilling whatsoever into your Envision, which is great for your car.

  • How Often do I Have to Start my 2017 Buick Envision When I am Flat Towing it
  • I've checked through the owners manual and was unable to find any requirement on starting the vehicle when flat towing. On some vehicles there is a note in the manual that says to start and run the engine every so often to lubricate the transmission. But again I did not see one in the online manual. Please check your manual to see if the information is the same. As far as the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass Switch for Towed Vehicle part # RM76512 it only needs to be turned on when you...

  • Is a Lift or Jack Needed to Install Curt Hitch C13292 on a 2017 Buick Envision
  • The rear of your 2017 Buick Envision sits up high enough that you would not need to lift the rear of the vehicle to install the Curt hitch part # C13292. In the linked installation instructions the vehicle is up on a lift but that's done just to make taking pictures a bit easier.

  • Tow Bar Wiring System to have Separate Turn Signals and Brake Lights on 2017 Buick Envision
  • Legally the dingy lights don't have to have separate brake lights and turn signals but you can certainly wire it up that way if you want. I do not know which lighting system you have but the whole kit for separate dingy lights is # 154-792-118158. If you already have a 4 diode kit then you will just need 2 additional diodes # RM-792 and converter # 118158. I have included a diagram showing how the 6 diode system wires up. If you have something other than a 4 diode kit let me know what...

  • Roof Cargo Box that Will Allow Rear Hatch of 2017 Buick Envision to Open
  • I have a cargo box solution for your vehicle that has 45 inches form center of front crossbar back to hatch seam but the Thule Sidekick part # TH78GC that you referenced requires at least 51 inches there otherwise the hatch will interfere and not open. The Yakima Rocketbox 14 part # Y07192 requires 45 inches so since that is what you have it would work and is only option.

  • 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.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2018 Buick Envision
  • I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2018 Buick Envision AWD and found that it can be flat towed behind an RV with all 4 wheels on the ground. I do recommend verifying this information in your copy of the manual as well as reviewing the specific steps you will need to take before pulling the vehicle. This section is titled "Recreational Vehicle Towing" in the manual. In order to flat tow your Buick Envision you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables,...

  • Parts Needed to Flat-Tow a 2018 Buick Envision
  • In order to flat-tow your 2018 Buick Envision with all four wheels on the ground you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, flat-tow wiring harness, safety cables, supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. I have attached my recommendations for each of these parts below. For a base plate kit I recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit part # RM-523188-5 as it has removable arms which makes for a clean look while not in tow and it will not require a bulky crossbar. The...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for a 2021 Buick Envison Hauling a Cannondale Step-Through Bike
  • I recommend checking out the Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH92BJ. This bike rack will work with up to 2 step-through bikes weighing 35 lbs each (70 lbs total), a maximum of 5" wide tires, and a maximum wheelbase of 46 1/2". This is a hitch mounted rack, so if you don't have a trailer hitch yet you're going to need to add one with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C94NR.

  • Do Curt and Draw Tite Trailer Hitches for 2017 Buick Envision Fit with Dual Exhaust
  • We checked with Curt and Draw Tite and both hitches fit with single or dual exhaust so the part # C13405 or the Draw Tite # 76080 would fit and work great. I attached the install video links as well as attached a picture that shows what the hitch looks like installed which shows how the hitch fits relative to the exhaust. I'd go with the Draw Tite over the Curt as it has higher capacities and will be a bit less visible once installed.

  • Flat Tow 2019 Buick Envision Set Up
  • You asked about Blue Ox and Roadmaster complete systems but set ups to flat tow a vehicle are an a-la-carte situation where the user picks the pieces that they prefer based on features and value. In my recommendation below I have parts from several companies. Personally, where value is equal, I prefer to use one brand mainly. In this case, Roadmaster, as they carry many of the pieces we need and I can be assured that they will work together well. To flat tow your 2019 Buick Envision...

  • Determining The Correct Ball Mount For 2017 Buick Envision W/ Draw-Tite Hitch 76080
  • When we installed the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76080 on a similar 2017 Buick Envision we found that from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver was 16-1/2". To determine which ball mount will have the correct rise or drop for your trailer, you will need to level your trailer and measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. If the trailer coupler is lower than 16-1/2" you will need a ball mount with a drop that matches the difference, and if the coupler is...
