It is absolutely safe to tow with a panoramic roof on you your 2018 Buick Envision with a panoramic roof; I also checked the owner's manual just to be thorough and there was nothing about the roof, so can tow with this vehicle without worry about your roof making any impact.
In order to tow with your 2018 Buick Envision you will need a couple things, starting with a trailer hitch. The best option for a hitch by far is from Curt because it not only has the best bumper and ground clearances,... view full answer...
I recommend using the Malone Cargo12 Rooftop Cargo Box - 12 cu ft - High Gloss Gray # MPG901, which will fit on your Buick factory crossbars and is our most economical rooftop cargo box. This box offers 12 cu/ft of cargo space and has locks to keep your gear secured.
I've linked a short review video of this box for you to check out. view full answer...
I have something that can definitely help! While we do not have a video that shows the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 2 # TH450200 into the ratcheting arms of the Thule T2 Classic # TH9044, we do have a demonstration video of the cylinders being installed onto Thule roof rack legs. The installation process is very similar on the Thule T2 Classic. I went ahead and attached that video to this response for your convenience. The process starts at timestamp 1:18. view full answer...
A vehicle with limited wheel well clearance will often be described by the auto maker as being unsuitable for using tire chains. Unfortunately, and as you noted, many municipalities will legally require traction devices under certain conditions. Some auto makers will indicate that certain low-profile chains, termed S Class products, can be used on certain tire sizes and often on one specific axle only. But in the end, usually the letter of the law wins out over an owner's manual!

Fuses F29 and F32 are directly related to the Body Control Module (BCM). Typically in modern automobiles, the BCM controls the power windows, power mirrors, air conditioning, immobilizer system, central locking, etc.
The BCM also communicates with other on-board computers using the car's vehicle bus, and its main purpose is to control load drivers, which are actuating relays that in turn perform actions in the vehicle such as locking the doors, flashing the turn signals (in older cars),... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
Yes the Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack # SA805BL you're looking at really will fit your 2021 Buick Envision. This bike rack is not natively compatible with step through bikes, but if you use the Swagman Bike Frame Adapter Bar # 64005 you'd be all set.
Also to note, this bike rack has a 70 lb two bike capacity, and the adapter bar has a single 35 lb capacity, so you'll want to make sure you're not exceeding that. view full answer...
When we installed the diode tow bar lighting kit part # RM-15267 on a 2019 Buick Envision we did not use a brake lite relay. If you wanted to watch our entire install of this kit on your vehicle to use as a guide check out the install video link I attached to this page. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
For your 2017 Buick Envision the trailer hitch part # 76080 that you referenced is a confirmed fit. Then for a 4-way trailer wiring kit you would want Curt part # C56364 that you also mentioned.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

The Roadmaster # RM-4000 "Guardian" rock guard you mentioned only works with a "crossbar" style base plate system. Same with the # RM-4700 "Tow Defender." (Also works with some other crossbar base plate systems by other companies.) However the Roadmaster Tow Defender # RM-4750 will work with "direct connect" style base plates systems such as the Roadmaster # RM-523196-5 that you have installed on your Buick. view full answer...
The # RM-9243-1 Combo Kit includes the necessary diodes, wiring and hardware to install a diode kit, and since the kit is less expensive than purchasing all the individual parts separately.

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... view full answer...
That's correct, if you used the Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523196-5 with the Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 you wouldn't need the Blue Ox Adapter Brackets # BX88185 to tow your 2020 Buick Envision (and you wouldn't need to use the crossbar that comes with the tow bar). Just be sure you pick up a pair of safety cables like part # RM-643 as well.
The Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR is a very popular choice for a portable braking system and would allow you to transfer the kit to future vehicles,... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
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.... view full answer...
Yes, you can use a Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard # RM-4000 when flat towing your 2018 Buick Envision.
You'll need to use a Roadmaster flat towing setup that has the crossbar so let's get you set up with that as well.
Starting with the base plates I recommend the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # RM-523188-4. This base plate kit is custom fit for your vehicle and features a hidden bracket design for a nice clean look when you aren't towing.
For a compatible tow bar that will work great... view full answer...
The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack # KU74FR you asked about will not allow the wheel hook to swing freely. The arm tension is adjustable so you can ensure that you won't have any issues. There will not be any contact with the vehicle.
I recommend measuring from the center of the hitch pin hole on your 2019 Buick Envision to the outermost part of the bumper. The closest part of the carrier when folded up is 6 inches from the center of that hitch pin hole. view full answer...
Yes the factory trailer connector will be located behind the center of the rear bumper. It should be a square shaped plug with 4 pins. Once you locate it you can plug in the Curt wiring harness # C56325 and you will be good to go. It is recommended to get a bracket like # C42CR to secure the connector. view full answer...
There are 2 sets of Roadmaster base plates for your 2017 Buick Envision.
The first is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523188-5. With this kit you do have removable arms that allow for a clean look when you are not towing your Envision. This will also give you the faster connection meathod as it does not require the installation of the crossbar.
