  • How Far From The Ground Does The Curt Trailer Hitch Sit On a 2018 Buick Regal TourX?
  • When we installed the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12173 on a 2018 Buick Regal TourX in our shop we found it to have a ground clearance of approximately 9". 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.

  • 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...

  • 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....

  • 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...

  • How to Transport Power Chair on 2018 Cadillac XTS That Has Only 100-lb Allowable Tongue Weight
  • I checked the online edition of the owner's manual for the 2018 Cadillac XTS and it does indeed state the maximum trailer weight is 1000-lbs, just as you mentioned, but is also notes that the tongue weight of the connected trailer should not exceed 10% of that maximum, which would then be 100-lbs. This note appears on the right-hand side of page 233. The three 1-1/4-inch Class II hitches offered for the car, such as Curt # C12115 shown on the linked page, all have the same rated maximum...

  • 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...

  • How to Measure Ball Mount Rise for Draw-Tite Sportframe Ball Mount # 3594 on a 2002 Buick Regal
  • Ball mount rise, or drop, is determined by inserting the ball mount into the hitch on your vehicle and measuring from the top of the hitch opening to the top of the ball mount platform. I added a photo showing how the rise and length would be measured on the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 3594. We also have an informational article that explains how to choose the correct ball mount for your application. All Class I and Class II trailer hitches are tested and rated with the specific ball mount...

  • 2005 Buick Lacrosse Hitch Capacity for Using Hitch-Mounted Wheelchair Carrier
  • The hitch you have installed on your 2005 Buick Lacrosse is a 1-1/4-inch Class II type like those shown on the linked page. The highest capacity option is the Curt # C12239 which offers a 350-lb tongue weight (TW) capacity; the others are rated for 300-lbs. Your hitch will have a safety sticker that indicates its TW rating. This means that with this Curt hitch the combined weight of your chair and carrier cannot exceed the hitch's 350-lb rating, or the car's own TW rating, which could...

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • How to Find the Wiring Harness on a 2017 Buick Enclave
  • I sure the wiring harness is there and I get your frustration because even our installers have mentioned how difficult it is to find it. I have linked a video below for the item # 118270 4-way wiring harness. It uses the same connector as the item # 118271 you are looking to install in your Enclave. If you skip forward to the 1:35 point of the video you'll see the step. If your 2017 Buick Enclave does not have the towing package you will still have the rectangle connector needed to attach...

  • 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.

  • 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.
