Expert Answers about Buick


  • Trailer Hitch Classes Available for a 2003 Buick LeSabre
  • All of the trailer hitches available for your 2003 Buick LeSabre are Class II hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers. Curt hitch # C12044 has the highest tongue weight capacity of the options at 350 pounds. But Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier) per their warranty requirements. All of the hitches are rated for 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight. If you have a 2 inch accessory you want...

  • Availability of Class III Hitch for 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Station Wagon
  • We do offer a Class II hitch for the 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon with a respectable 3500 lb towing/350 lb tongue weight capacity, part # C12009. For towing, you'd also need the trailer wiring harness, part # C55352 and a 1-7/8 inch ball, # 19256 or a 2 inch ball, part # 19258. None of the hitch manufacturers we deal with offer a Class III hitch that would be compatible with the 1996 Roadmaster Estate Wagon.

  • 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For a 1977 Buick Estate Wagon
  • You will need a receiver like the Draw-Tite Ultra Universal Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41990-07 for your 1977 Buick Estate Wagon. We currently do not carry a custom fit receiver for your Buick. This universal receiver will allow you to fit a 2" receiver on a frame up to 44" wide. The 7" tall mounting brackets allow you to bolt the receiver on or weld it on. You will need to check your owners manual for any manufacturer limits for towing as I could not find any specifications for towing limits...

  • Availability of Trailer Hitch that Fits 2024 Buick Envista
  • We have a 2 inch hitch that fits your 2024 Buick Envista with the Curt # C75VV which is generally the more popular hitch size but we do not have a 1-1/4 inch option.

  • Flat Towing Base Plates and Tow Bar Set-Ups for 2016 Buick Enclave
  • Flat towing a vehicle behind an RV requires 5 basic components: 1) tow bar, 2) safety cables, 3) wiring kit and 4) base plates and 5) a braking system for the towed vehicle. The linked articles will give you good general background on each of these. I checked with my technical contact at Roadmaster and they do offer base plate kit # 523149-1 which fits Buick Enclave models (without brushguards) up through the 2016 model year. I suggest their Falcon 2 Tow Bar, part # RM-520, since it will...

  • Availability of SwiveLift Loading System with Shorter Stinger to Use with a 2014 Buick Enclave
  • While Vikings Solutions doesn't make the SwiveLift Loading System # 310-VSL001 with a shorter stinger, you may be able to utilize the Rack Jack II Hoist # 310-VRJ001 instead for your 2014 Buick Enclave since you can push your cargo in towards your rear hatch area while letting some of the cable out. Aside from that there isn't anything else that would accomplish what you're trying to do short of using loading ramps and finding a way to mount a winch inside your SUV.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for 2005 Buick Allure
  • I spoke with my contact at Curt, who tells me that the reason that the # C56340 isn't shown as being a fit for the 2005 Buick Allure is that the wiring harness was never tested on the vehicle. Because of this, Curt won't call it a fit. If the only difference between the two vehicles is the nameplate, then the harness should fit. However, because Curt can't confirm the fit, we can't guarantee you the harness will work. If you feel like taking a gamble, go with the # C56340 but if you want...

  • Parts Needed To Transport Wheel Chair with 2008 Buick Lucerne

  • Is There a Class III 2 inch Trailer Hitch for a 2001 Buick LeSabre
  • I have a solution for you, but we do not carry any Class III 2 inch trailer hitches for your 2001 Buick LeSabre. We do have the Draw-Tite Class II receiver, part # 36309, that fits your Buick. It does have a 1-1/4 inch receiver, but you can change it to a 2 inch receiver by using an adapter like part # HTAD. Even though an adapter will allow you to carry accessories that have a 2 inch shank, keep in mind that anytime you use an adapter that it reduces your Tongue Weight capacity by 50 percent.

  • Is 130 - 160 Degrees too Cool for Transmission Fluid Temperatures
  • The cooler you can keep transmission fluid the better basically. 130-160 degrees is actually really awesome as this means your transmission is going to last a very long time. Honestly 180 isn't bad either but 130-160 is better if anything. I am slightly confused by the second portion of your question though as you said the gauge is not working but previously had stated that the gauge was reading temperatures.

  • Plug and Play Trailer Wiring Harness for 2001 Buick LeSabre
  • There isn't a plug and play option available for the 2001 Buick LeSabre, most likely due to the age of the vehicle and the fact that it's not frequently used to tow. However, there is an available hardwire option that'll work great for you. You can use part # C59496, which would wire directly into the wiring harnesses that feed your taillights. The best place to tap into your taillight wiring is directly behind the taillight assemblies. Use the included tester to probe the wires feeding...
