  • Ball Mount Recommendations for 2003 Buick Century
  • When installed, the top of the receiver will be approximately 12-1/2 inches above the ground. The Draw-Tite Class II Trailer Hitch, item # 36374, for your 2003 Buick Century is designed to be used with the # 36061 ball mount in the rise position only. The manufacturer has done testing to ensure weight capacity and safety are kept within hitch limits. If your trailer would require a significantly higher or lower ball mount then you should probably not pull that trailer with this vehicle. The...

  • Will the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box fit on Factory Bars on My 2015 Buick Enclave?
  • The Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629706 will fit your factory bars on your 2015 Buick Enclave if the width of the crossbars is under 3-1/2 inches and the height is less than 1-11/16 inches. Also, in order for you to open the rear hatch on your vehicle, there needs to be at least 47-1/2 inches between the center of the front crossbar and the line where the trunk and hatch meet. In order to ensure a fit, I recommend measuring the dimensions of your crossbars and the distance between...

  • Recommended Towing Weight Capacity for a 2012 Buick Lacrosse
  • I can clarify all this for you. The hitch is rated to tow 3,500 lbs. and this towing capacity is issued by the manufacture of the hitch. You are going to be limited by your weakest link, which is going to be your vehicle's frame. I went ahead and I checked the owner's manual for your 2012 Buick Lacrosse and it states that with a V6 engine you can tow up to 1,000lbs. but that could also be too heavy. The owner's manual states: maximum trailer weight is calculated assuming only the driver...

  • Dimensions of the Ring and the Bolts in Recessed Trailer D-Ring Tie Down with Backing Plate # RR5K
  • I went out to the warehouse and pulled a Recessed Trailer D-Ring Tie Down with Backing Plate and Hardware, # RR5K. The ring has an inner diameter of 1-1/4 inches and an outer diameter of 2.108 inches. The ring is approximately 0.427 inches thick. The mounting bolts are 2.42 inches long total (from the top of the bolt head to the bottom of the threaded portion). From the underneath part of the head to the bottom of the threaded portion, they measure 2.28 inches long. And they are a 3/8...

  • Where is Rise and Drop Measured From on Roadmaster Dual Hitch Adapter
  • The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches - 2-1/4" Rise/Drop # RM-077-2 does measure 2-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole on the shank to the center of the hitch pin hole on the receiver. You definitely will want to move your Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 bike rack off of your flat towed Buick because this rack is not approved for use on the rear of a flat towed vehicle. That means if something were to happen to your rack when it was on a flat towed...

  • What is the Capacity of the Swagman Roamer LT Roof Rack for Pop-Up Campers and Camper Shells
  • The 150 pound capacity of the Swagman Roamer roof rack # S80510 is the capacity for the whole system assuming the weight is evenly distributed. You will also want to check the capacity of the roof. Whichever is lower, the roof or the roof rack, is the capacity you will need to go by.

  • Can the Superwinch LT2000 Pull a 3700 lb Camper up a 10 Percent Grade
  • Yes, the Superwinch LT2000 Electric Utility Winch # 1120210 would work well for you. As the 2,000 lb rated line pull of this winch can handle 10,000 lbs of rolling weight at a 10 percent incline so you should be more than good. Check out the FAQ I attached that has a chart on rolling weight capacities based on grade percentage.

  • Can a Trunk Mount Bike Rack Carry an E-Bike on a 2012 Buick Regal
  • We do have a solution for you but unfortunately trunk mount bike racks, like the Thule OutWay # TH45JV that you referenced, only have a weight capacity of 33 lbs per bike. Any trunk mount bike rack that has a higher capacity will not be much higher than that, maybe 35 pounds. If you have an e-Bike then you really need to go with a hitch mount bike rack as your bike probably weighs closer to 50 lbs. For your 2012 Buick Regal I recommend installing the Draw-Tite # 36538 which is a Class...

  • What is the Capacity of a Round Trailer Axle with a 3 Inch Diameter
  • Axles rated for 6,000 to 7,200 pounds usually will have 3 inch diameters. But it is possible for 5,200 pound axles or even 3,500 pound axles to have a 3 inch diameter axle. You could err on the side of caution and say each axle is rated for 3.5K for a total of 7K for the 2 axles combined. But there should be some information somewhere on the axles that indicate the capacity. There could be a tag that explicitly states the capacity or some numbers that would indicate the model of the axle....

  • Can 1992 Buick Century Tow a Trailer
  • I could not find an online owner's manual for a 1992 Buick Century but I was able to find one for a 1993 model year and on page 176 it states that the '93 CAN tow a trailer. I attached that page from the 1993 owner's manual. Capacity is up to 1000-lbs, or up to 2000-lbs if the car has a V6 engine with a four speed automatic transaxle and is equipped with the optional heavy-duty engine cooling system. Both model years are within the same generation of the car so chances are they could share...

  • Class III Hitch for 2004 Buick Rendezvous
  • The important thing to consider is that any towing system is only as strong as its lowest rated component. According to my research, the 2004 Rendezvous is rated to tow 2000 pounds, 3500 pounds for the Ultra model. If the hitch with the 5000 pound capacity is indeed the correct one for your vehicle it can certainly be used, but the towing capacity of your Buick will be limited to the 2000 or 3500 lb manufacturer stated towing capacity. We offer several different Class II and III hitches...

  • How to Carry Cargo on 2016 Buick Encore
  • I reviewed an online edition of the owner's manual for your 2016 Buick Encore and on page 186 GM indicates this car is not intended to tow any trailer. I do not recommend going against this advice. The hitch I do recommend, which would allow use of a cargo carrier like # C18145, is the Draw-Tite Class I hitch # C11527. This hitch has a 200-lb tongue weight rating so after you deduct the carrier's 29-lb weight you would still be able to load up to 171-lbs of cargo. I know this 171 lbs...

You can compare this with what you have on your factory hitch as we do not have that information. This is currently our only receiver for your Regal.

  • Height Above Ground of Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch # 75528 on 2013 Buick Enclave
  • I have linked a video showing installation of Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch # 75528 on a 2010 Enclave; at the 3:30 mark there is a display of the receiver tube's height above ground when installed. On this vehicle the top of the receiver tube will be approximately 17-3/4-inches above ground. The exact height will depend on the tire's tread depth and the cargo and passenger load in the vehicle. If you need a 4-pole trailer wiring harness you can use # C56245 from Curt.

  • Dimensions for Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch # 75528

I measured a distance between the bolt holes on the left and right side brackets to be right at 43-1/4 inches, on center. The distance between the two bolt holes on the bracket is 2-1/4 inches, on center. I have attached an image with these dimensions labeled that you can also check out. This Class III hitch is confirmed to fit the following vehicles: 2007...
