  • 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.

  • Recommendation For Powering Blue Ox Patriot Brake System On 2023 Encore GX When Battery Disconnected
  • Rather than disconnecting the battery by removing the ground connection I recommend installing the Roadmaster Battery Disconnect # RM-766 on your 2023 Buick Encore GX.

This way when you press the button on your dash to disconnect the battery this outlet still has power for the braking system. Be sure to also install the Charge Line Kit #...

  • Why Are There no Base Plate Kit fits for 2021 Buick Encore GX with Sport Touring Package
  • The lower grille of the ST package is shaped differently and that's where the base plate kits come through so that's why there's an issue. So for the time being you could tow it with a dolly like the part # RM-2050-1 and you'd be good since the front grille doesn't affect the fit on a dolly.

  • What is Max Roof Thickness MaxxFan # MA00-07500K Can Fit
  • MaxxFan does not offer a taller garnish than what comes with the MaxxFan part # MA00-07500K that you referenced but the included garnish can fit roof thicknesses that are up to 6-1/2 inches thick so you might check to see if it could fit. If you trimmed yours down already and need a new one we have that with part # MA54FR.

  • Is There a Class III Receiver For a 2021 Buick Encore GX For Carrying a Power Chair?
  • Currently the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C94UR is the only receiver we carry for your 2021 Buick Encore GX. This is a class I receiver with a 1-1/4" receiver. You will not be able to find a class III receiver for your Encore due to the very low capacity of the vehicle for trailer towing and tongue weight rating. To haul most power chairs with your Encore you will need a small trailer like the Detail K2 # K2MMT4X6 so you can stay under the 1,000lb trailer capacity. For the trailer you...

  • Best Flat Tow Setup and Brake System for a 2022 Buick Encore GX Sport Touring
