Adding a two-inch hitch receiver to the back of your Encore is gonna allow you to get some of those bulkier items out of the back of your car and onto a cargo carrier, maybe a bike rack or even pull a small trailer. This hitch will feature a two inch by two inch opening, which is gonna fit most of your accessories. That is the most common size of hitch receiver tube.

Curt Trailer Hitch Installation - 2016 Buick Encore- Video
Hello, neighbors, it's Brad here "etrailer", and today we're taking a look at installing the Curt Class One Trailer hitch receiver on a 2016 Buick Encore. This is what your hitch is gonna look like when it's installed on your vehicle, and it is an exposed cross tube so you are gonna be able to see that hitch but it sits really nice underneath the bumper for a still pretty clean look. And overall it looks really good with its black powder coat finish, which is also gonna help keep it looking good for a long time. Being a class one trailer hitch receiver means that your receiver tube opening is gonna be an inch and a quarter, so you're gonna wanna make sure when choosing accessories that you're picking up something that's inch and a quarter. You're gonna be a little bit more limited than your typical two inch, but not to worry there's still plenty of accessories available for it. Now when you put your accessories in place, you're gonna be using a half inch pin and clip to keep that in place. more

Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Installation - 2021 Buick Encore- Video
Today, we're gonna be going over and showing you how to install the Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver here on our 2021 Buick Encore. Now you can see everything has a nice, shiny black powder coated finish, which is gonna do a great job of protecting the hitch from rust and corrosion over time, being that it is on the underside of the vehicle. Adding a trailer hitch on your Encore here, it's gonna be an excellent option because it's gonna make your vehicle that much more versatile. Now we can obviously use the trailer hitch for towing, but if we wanted to free up some space inside the vehicle for those long road trips or we wanted to hit the trails, we could easily attach either hitch mounted bike rack or hitch mounted cargo carrier. If we are gonna be towing, we need to keep in mind that our trailer hitch here has a 3,500 pound gross trailer weight rating. That's the amount we can pull outward on the receiver tube. more
