Recommendation For Flat Towing A 2011 Buick Regal 2.4L

The items needed to tow your 2011 Buick Regal will include base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, wiring, maybe a high-low hitch adapter, and a braking system.

For your 2011 Buick Regal, I recommend the Roadmaster EZ2 Base Plate Item # 523169-1 because it is designed for your vehicle. It also has twistlock brackets that are virtually invisible and can be removed. The Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain Item # RM-522 is a great choice that fits the Roadmaster EZ2 Base Plate. You will also need safety cables like Item # RM-643.

A good lighting kit for your Buick is the Roadmaster Diode Wiring Kit Item # RM-15267 that will use your vehicle's tail lights and also includes 7-wire to 6-wire coiled electrical cord.

A high-low hitch adapter may also be needed to keep your vehicle fairly level while being flat towed. A "safe zone" of 3 inches above or 3 inches below level must be maintained while towing a vehicle. High-low adapters provide necessary rise or drop to get into the "safe zone". I have attached a link to our available selections.

Finally, the SMI Stay-In-Play Braking System Item # SM99251 is a great proportional braking system that has a convenient one time set-up. If your Buick's brake lights do not illuminate when engine is off then you will also need a stop light switch kit like Item # RM-751448. I did not have an installation video for a Buick but I have attached one for a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu.

Before towing your 2011 Buick Regal 2.4L, check your vehicle owner's manual for suggestions and recommendations.
