Expert Answers about Buick Regal


  • Best Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2013 Buick Regal GS
  • The Curt # C12115 and Draw-Tite # 36538 are the only options for GS models. It may not be as hidden as you would like but keep in mind that in order to really see the cross tube of the hitch or really any other part of it other than the receiver you would have to get fairly low to the ground. If you need a hitch the only other option would be to have one custom fabricated but someone with experience in doing so. If you will be using the hitch for something like a bike rack or cargo carrier...

  • Determining Which Bike Racks Are Compatible with Recessed Curt Hitch C12225 on 1998 Buick Regal
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12225 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 1998 Buick Regal but the receiver portion will sit pretty recessed behind the rear bumper. This means when picking out a bike rack it is important to note the bumper clearance dimension for the particular rack you are looking at. This is indicated by the distance from the hitch pin hole on the shank to the closest part of the bike rack. If you already have the hitch installed I recommend taking...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendations for a 2012 Buick Regal
  • There are 2 types of wiring harnesses available for your 2012 Buick Regal and # 36538. First there is the kind that just plugs in, gets grounded, and you're done. The other kind plugs in and grounds as well but also has a powered module that requires a direct connection to the vehicle battery. The benefit of the second, powered type is that the vehicle battery provides the power for the trailer lights rather than the trailer lights getting power through the tail light wiring. This helps...

  • Kayak Carrier and Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2011 Buick Regal
  • First you will need to start with a roof rack for your 2011 Buick Regal. For that I would recommend the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack that consists of part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK296. Once that is complete an assisted kayak carrier like the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 would be your best choice. This is an assisted, side-loading kayak carrier that would make loading and transporting your kayaks very easy. For the Hullavator system I recommend getting longer bars # RRVA126B-2...

  • Comparing Curt and Draw Tite Trailer Hitch for 2017 Buick Regal
  • The best trailer hitch option we have is the Draw Tite part # 36538 for your 2017 Buick Regal. I recommend this hitch over the Curt # C12115 because it does not require a stabilizer strap like the Curt does when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack.

  • Recommendation For Flat Towing A 2011 Buick Regal 2.4L
  • The items needed to tow your 2011 Buick Regal will include base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, wiring, maybe a high-low hitch adapter, and a braking system. For your 2011 Buick Regal, I recommend the Roadmaster EZ2 Base Plate Item # 523169-1 because it is designed for your vehicle. It also has twistlock brackets that are virtually invisible and can be removed. The Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain Item # RM-522 is a great choice that fits the Roadmaster EZ2 Base Plate. You will also need...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2017 Buick Regal
  • The two hitches that are a fit for the 2017 Buick Regal, the Curt # C12115 and Draw-Tite # 36538 are extremely similar; both are Class II rated with a 1-1/4 inch receiver and are bolt-on installations. The biggest difference is that the Curt hitch requires stabilization straps # 18050 when using accessories such as a bike rack or cargo carrier in order to maintain the warranty. The Draw-Tite # 36538 does not have the same requirement and since the owner's manual of your Regal states that...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Recommendation for 2011 Buick Regal Towing 850 LB Jetski
  • I have included a link to all of the hitch options for your 2011 Buick Regal. I personally recommend the Curt, # C12115. This hitch is economical, offers bolt-on installation so no drilling or welding required, and with a capacity of 350 lbs for tongue weight and 3500 lbs for towing, would have sufficient capacity to tow the jetski. In addition to the hitch you may also still need the following: Ball Mount # C45017 Pin and Clip # F-4 Hitch Ball # 19258 for 2 inch or # 19256 for 1-7/8...

  • Catalytic Converter Recommendation for 1987 Buick Turbo Regal 3.8 liter Turbo
  • For your 1987 Buick Regal T-Type or Grand National we have the Magnaflow catalytic converter # MF93439 which is an exact replacement for the factory cat your Turbo Regal came with. If you have an exhaust system that uses the factory style of exhaust where the cats are this would work well. If you have an aftermarket setup to match your 3 inch downpipe and need something bigger you'd probably have to find an exhaust shop to get you exactly what you need.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2015 Buick Regal GS
  • We carry hitches from two manufacturers, Cequent Performance Products, who manufactures Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite and Curt Manufacturing. In terms of overall build quality and the quality of the finish, the hitches from both companies are pretty equal. I agree with you about the quality of Curt products. That said, the Curt trailer hitch # C12115 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Buick Regal GS. Trimming of the fascia is required for the Impala models, but not for the Regal GS. We don't...

  • Recommended 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness for 2000 Buick Regal
  • We definitely carry 4-Way wiring harnesses that you can install on your 2000 Buick Regal for powering a trailer's signal lights, however there aren't any custom plug-in options for this vehicle. To add the needed harness I recommend the Tekonsha 4-Pole Hardwire Kit # 18252. You will just splice this into tail light circuit wires on the Regal using the included quick-splice connectors. A circuit tester is also included so you can quickly identify the correct wires on the vehicle to tap...

  • For a 1-1/4-inch Class II hitch with a concealed cross tube for a more discrete appearance on your 2012 Buick Regal Turbo the best option is the Curt # C12115 that you referenced. The linked installation video show the process on a 2011 model year Buick. I also linked the written instructions and a helpful article with tips for an easier hitch installation. The hitch comes with all required installation hardware and also includes a pin and clip to secure a ball mount for towing or an accessory...

  • How to Pick Out a Hitch Ball for a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500, Hitch Recommendation
  • None of the hitch balls we offer are going to have a 6 inch long threaded shank on them. The longest available is 3-3/8 like the part # 63849 that you referenced. If you do not have a hitch on your 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 I think your best option for towing would be to install one. For that I would recommend the Curt Hitch part # 13322. Then to pick out a ball mount to insert into the hitch opening of the hitch you will first need to decide how much rise/drop you need. Check out the...
