  • Trailer Hitch and Hitch Adapter Recommendation for 2019 Buick Encore Carrying Kuat NV
  • Yes, you would want to use an anti-rattle for the 1-1/4 inch portion of the adapter. For that the Hitch part # C11257 would work well. It uses a U-bolt to hold the adapter tight to the hitch tube.

  • Which Roof Basket Will Fit Onto The Flush Rails On My 2015 Buick Encore?
  • I am not sure which aftermarket rails you might be referring to. If you have flush rails running front to back and no crossbars then you will first need to install crossbars such as Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 along with Legs # RRSX040. Then you can add a roof basket like Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs # TH859XT. The Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep # C18115 you were looking at is not able to fit...

  • Trailer Hitch and Enclosed Cargo Carrier for a 2014 Buick Encore
  • First, for a trailer hitch, for your 2014 Buick Encore is the Curt # C11527. This is a Class I hitch so it will be compatible with some hitch mounted cargo carriers. It will not work with the Yakima EXO # Y62VR because this carrier requires a class III hitch or above. There are no enclosed carriers that will work with a class I hitch. Instead, I recommend the 19 X 47 flat Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110 You will need to determine the weight capacity of your vehicle and make sure that the...

  • Hitch For 2021 Buick Encore
  • Adding a hitch to any vehicle is a great addition and gives you plenty of options for anything you may be transporting. Although there is not an option for a hidden hitch for your vehicle at this time, I do suggest the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver Item # C11527. Whether you are looking to add accessories, or tow a small trailer, this 1-1/4" hitch is more than capable. It provides a tongue weight rating of 200 pounds along with a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 pounds. When...

  • 2016 Buick Encore Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation
  • For your 2016 Buick Encore the nicest bike rack we offer that is a confirmed fit is the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer. The cables store inside the rack so there are no loose straps ends to flap around. The cables can also be locked...

  • Does Power Wire of Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Kit for 2017 Buick Encore Have to Run to Vehicle Battery
  • Not all vehicles can handle the additional amperage draw of the trailer taillights on the vehicle taillight circuits. Those vehicles need setup that draws power from the battery. Some vehicles have higher rated circuits that can handle this, and others need to have the power drawn straight from the battery to protect the taillight circuits. For your 2017 Buick Encore you need to install a harness that draws power from the battery to protect the taillight circuits. For that you would need...

  • What Circuit Should Tekonsha Battery Charger 2024-07 Connect To
  • The taillight circuit of your vehicle trailer wiring would not have enough amperage available to charge a battery with the Tekonsha Two Stage 12 V DC Battery Charger # 2024-07. It needs to be run to the 12 volt accessory circuit of your trailer wiring. If you only had a 4-way installed on your vehicle you'd need to convert it to a 7-way with the # ETBC7L to accomplish. This comes with an easy to install 7-way adapter and all of the wiring needed to activate the 12 volt accessory circuit.

  • Recommended Pintle Hitch with 2 Inch Hitch Ball Compatible with 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • For a ball mount like you are seeking, I recommend the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Pintle Hook Combo w/ 3 Nickel-Plated Balls - 2" Hitches - 16,000 lbs # PH2. This isn't intended to keep the coupler attached like you referenced, as that is what the coupler latch is intended to do, but it can work in this way if you have a shallow enough coupler. Another option for a similar fit is the Curt Pintle Hook with 2" Ball - for 2" Hitches - 10,000 lbs/16,000 lbs # C48007.

  • Which Thule Kayak Carrier Can Carry 12 Foot Long Kayaks
  • The Stacker can carry up to 4 kayaks as long as they are 10 feet in length or less but since your kayaks are 12 feet you can't use this rack unfortunately. You'd have to use J-style kayaks like the JayLow part # Y04073 for each kayak as these do not have length restrictions. Be sure to check the weight capacity of your roof and roof rack and be sure not exceed this figure with the weight of your kayaks and carriers. The Y04073 weighs 13 lbs.

  • What Wiring Harness Connects 2015 Buick Encore To RV?
  • I did some research and from what I found your 2015 Buick Encore cannot be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. If your vehicle is All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) then it must be towed using a trailer. If Front-Wheel-Drive (FWD) then it must be towed with a tow dolly. Whether your Buick is AWD or FWD, confirm the towing options per your owner's manual. If FWD then I recommend the Roadmaster Tow Dolly: Roadmaster Tow Dolly Item # RM-2050-1. Tow dolly has a pivoting deck for easy maneuvering...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2016 Buick Encore to Mount Thule Hullavator Kayak Carrier
  • I do have an option for you so that you can use your Thule Hullavator # TH898 Kayak Carrier on your 2016 Buick Encore, however there aren't any square bar mounting feet available that have been confirmed to fit the factory side rails on the vehicle's roof. Your best option is going to be with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Bar System that consists of # RRVA126B-2 for the two 49" Vortex Aero Bars and # RRSX040 for the SRB Mounting Legs. Please just keep in mind that the bars won't be long enough...

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for Both a 2014 Buick Encore and 2014 Honda CR-V
  • The Thule OutWay platform style trunk mount rack is listed as a fit for the 2014 Buick Encore but not the 2014 Honda CR-V. I would not recommend this rack for those vehicles though because it is very heavy when loaded and will damage the vehicles. For a trunk mount bike rack that will fit both vehicles you can use the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top rack, # HRF2. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you.
