  • Comparing Curt and Draw Tite Trailer Hitches for 2018 Buick Lacrosse
  • The Draw Tite hitch part # 36652 is the hitch I recommend for your 2018 Buick LaCrosse because unlike the Curt # C12166 it does not require a stabilizer strap when carrying a bike rack. This hitch has a concealed crosstube too which means that it will be mainly out of sight as only the hitch opening will be visible. See the picture I attached. I also attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. The video shows a Chevy Malibu but the LaCrosse and the Malibu share...

  • Trailer Hitch and Light Weight Bike Rack for 2019 Buick Enclave
  • I looked up the towing capacities of your 2019 Buick Enclave and found that it has a tongue weight capacity of 150 which would be the limit for how heavy of a bike rack and bikes you can carry. The Curt hitch for your vehicle # CU29FR has more capacity than needed but you'd be limited by the vehicle. So based on that I would recommend going with a lighter weight bike rack like the Kuat Beta # B202-2 as it only weighs 12 lbs and is a very solid and easy to use rack solution for carrying...

  • Recommended Parts to Tow a Small Trailer with a 2009 Buick LaCrosse
  • We have everything that you need to get towing with your 2009 Buick LaCrosse. For a trailer hitch I recommend the 1-1/4" Class II Curt # C12239 because we have found the Curt trailer hitches typically have better welds and a thicker powder coat than other options. This contributes to a longer lifespan of the trailer hitch which in turn raises the quality of the hitch. Since you're needing to tow a smaller trailer you'll also need wiring to activate the trailer lights and for that I recommend...

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2020 Buick Enclave
  • We have two really great and easy to install trailer wiring options for your 2020 Buick Enclave. We have the 7-way part # 118287 and the 4-way part # 118761 which plug right into the trailer wiring port at the rear of your vehicle. If you plan to tow a smaller trailer without brakes you'd want the 4-way but if you plan to tow a trailer that has brakes like maybe a slightly larger camper you'd want to go with the 7-way option.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2021 Buick Enclave
  • For your 2021 Buick Enclave the trailer hitch I recommend is the Curt Class III part # CU29FR which can be hidden when not in use and also has great towing capacities. I attached an install video for you to check out. Then for 4-way trailer wiring you'd want the part # C56394.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Cargo Basket for 2021 Buick Encore
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11527 is a great option for a 2021 Buick Encore. It has a class I rating with 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. If you're looking for a cargo basket, I recommend the 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18110. It comes with everything you need to secure it to the trailer hitch. Unfortunately, there are not really a ton of cargo basket options for 1-1/4" hitches but the above is one of our best and will work great for you.

The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36652 you purchased for your 2017 Buick LaCrosse includes all of the hardware needed to get it installed and be used with your bike rack. In addition the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11232 you purchased for your 2015 Volkswagen Passat also includes all of the required hardware to get it installed.

  • Recommended Hitch and 2-Bike Rack for 2019 Buick Encore
  • For a trailer hitch, I'd recommend the Curt Class I hitch, part # C11527. Many of our customers do indeed install their own hitches, I've linked you to the install instructions and an install video. You can take a look at those and likely get a good idea if the install is something you'd be comfortable doing yourself. If not, any trusted mechanic should be able to complete the install for you pretty quickly in around an hour. The Thule # TH92BJ Doubletrack Pro XT is a nice bike rack, we...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2020 Buick Enclave
  • We sure do! For your 2020 Buick Enclave the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118761 will work perfectly. This custom harness is going to plug right into a factory port that's located beneath the vehicle on the driver's side.

I have attached an installation video that you can also follow along with.

  • Trailer Hitch for Scooter and Lift for a 2011 Buick LaCrosse
  • If the rear of your 2011 Buick LaCrosse is 6-1/2 inches from the ground on the driveway incline then anything that extends out further then that would be even closer to the ground. Basically you can probably expect to scrape the ground with a carrier installed in the trailer hitch. The way around this would be if the carrier you use had a rise in the shank effectively increasing its ground clearance. Carrier # PS10401-10402 for example has a slight rise in the shank (4 inches) and would...

  • Proper Set-Up for Towing a Pop-Up Camper with a 2014 Buick Enclave AWD

This is a matte black finished Class III hitch with a spec rating of 5,000 lbs. for max GTW or 6,000 when using a WDS. It has a tongue weight rating of 500 lbs. increasing to 600 lbs. when using a WDS. But always refer to your vehicle specific owners manual for the vehicles max specs for towing.

  • Trailer Hitch And Wiring For 2018 Buick Enclave Essence
  • Excellent question! Personally I recommend the Curt # CU29FR which is a direct fit for your 2018 Buick Enclave Essence. Not only is the Curt a super reliable and excellently built product but it is also conceals very nicely when not in use due to its recessed design; which, allows it to sit behind the rear fascia. Additionally, a fine choice for wiring would be the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56394 which is a super easy, plug and play harness. If you are in need of a ball...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2004 Buick Rendezvous to Carry a 300 Pound Electric Wheelchair
  • The trailer hitches with the highest capacity for your 2004 Buick Rendezvous have 350 pounds of tongue weight capacity. Provided that the combined weight of the scooter and carrier are under 350 pounds the hitches can handle it. I recommend Draw-Tite hitch # 75430. this is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver. Even though the hitch can handle 350 pounds of tongue weight you also have to consider what the vehicle can handle. Depending on how your vehicle is equipped (and how many passenger's...

This is a custom fit that will work perfectly with your system. The tow bar comes with the safety cables needed, so then you will simply need a high-low adapter bar compatible with your system. I have attached an article to assist as well as linked the page to your options. Then I recommend the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles #...

Then for a load assist style carrier you could use the Yakima SweetRoll Kayak Roof Rack # Y04074 which has rollers to help load it from the rear of the vehicle.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Buick Enclave
  • For your 2014 Buick Enclave we have the Draw Tite hitch part # 75528 which is a confirmed fit and would work well for towing a small trailer.

  • Trailer Wiring and Brake Controller Recommendations for a 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon
  • On a 1996 Buick Roadmaster wagon as far as I know a brake controller would need to be hardwired in. The car is not pre-wired for a brake controller so in order to install one you will need a few items. First, you will need a 4-Way trailer wiring harness, # C55352, unless the vehicle already has one. Using this harness (or a factory 4-Way on the vehicle if so equipped) you would then need to install a 4 and 7 way installation kit # ETBC7. This will add a 7-Way and provide the wiring for...
