- Hitch for 2018 Buick Envision with Highest Tongue Weight Rating
- The trailer hitch we offer for your 2018 Buick Envision that has the highest tongue weight rating is the Draw Tite part # 76080 which is rated for 675 lbs of tongue weight. I pulled up the towing capacity of your vehicle and it rated for only 1,500 lbs trailer weight so even if we had a higher rated hitch there wouldn't be a way to put 800 lbs on your hitch.

view full answer... - How Often do I Have to Start my 2017 Buick Envision When I am Flat Towing it
- I've checked through the owners manual and was unable to find any requirement on starting the vehicle when flat towing. On some vehicles there is a note in the manual that says to start and run the engine every so often to lubricate the transmission. But again I did not see one in the online manual. Please check your manual to see if the information is the same.

view full answer... - Determining The Correct Ball Mount For 2017 Buick Envision W/ Draw-Tite Hitch 76080
- When we installed the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76080 on a similar 2017 Buick Envision we found that from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver was 16-1/2".
To determine which ball mount will have the correct rise or drop for your trailer, you will need to level your trailer and measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. If the trailer coupler is lower than 16-1/2" you will need a ball mount with a drop that matches the difference, and if the coupler is...
view full answer... - Tow Bar Wiring System to have Separate Turn Signals and Brake Lights on 2017 Buick Envision
- Legally the dingy lights don't have to have separate brake lights and turn signals but you can certainly wire it up that way if you want. I do not know which lighting system you have but the whole kit for separate dingy lights is # 154-792-118158.
If you already have a 4 diode kit then you will just need 2 additional diodes # RM-792 and converter # 118158. I have included a diagram showing how the 6 diode system wires up.
If you have something other than a 4 diode kit let me know what...

It's a toss up on which is easier to use between the Roadmaster...

Only thing different with the AWD is that you can't dolly tow it. See page 310 of your owners manual for more info.

view full answer... - Best Towing Mirror Extensions For a 2024 Buick Envision
- I find the CIPA # 7070-2 mirrors are some of the best universal mirrors since there are no custom fit options for your 2024 Buick Envision. These have adjustable arms which allows them to conform to the mirrors and a simple strap system to hold them in place without easily loosening while you drive.
We also have an individual mirror # 7070 or Strap Set # 11952STRAP should they become damaged. This saves you from having to get an entire set like some others.
