  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Compatibility of a 2011 Buick Regal to Haul a Powered Scooter
  • I personally have not seen anyone using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12115 on a 2011 Buick Regal for carrying a power scooter. The Curt receiver being a class 2 only has a 1-1/4" receiver and most of the wheelchair/scooter carriers like the 29x49 Cargo Carrier w/ 60" Ramp # FHG69ZR require a 2" receiver. While there are adapters like # 80303 that will allow for you to use a 2" hitch accessory on a 1-1/4" receiver, they will reduce the capacity by 50%. That would bring the Curt receiver...

  • 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...

  • Correct Trailer Hitch for a 2002 Buick Regal
  • Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12225 is indeed a fit for a 2002 Buick Regal. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver is a custom fit but drilling into the frame is required. That said, you will want some gasket maker, the Loctite RTV 598 High-Performance Silicone Gasket Maker part # LT37467 to seal up some pre-drilled holes in the trunk pan. We do indeed ship to Canada so you will have no issues obtaining the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12225.

  • 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...

  • 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.

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...
