Product and build quality is great and it fit great as expected. All the hardware and fasteners were exactly as required.
The instructions were detailed correctly for my vehicle, BUT there were 5 words that were easy to overlook (I read it 3 times before interpreting correctly) about the heat shield installation. It could have been a highlighted area with a special note, but in the end, I got it installed AFTER the hitch was mounted. It just took some extra trimming.
This was about a 2 hour install alone with minimal time in adjustment. With two people it could have saved some time but it's going to take at least an hour, even if I was doing it on the same vehicle.

I RECIEVED THE TRAILER HITCH YESTERDAY , I WAS A LITTLE HESITANT ABOUT GETTING STARTED ON A BIG ENDEVOUR . BOY HOWDY WAS I SURPRISED WHEN THE INSTALL WENT VERY QUICKLY AND EASILY. JUST A GLANCE THROUGH THE INSTRUCTOINS AND EVERYTHING WENT AS THE INSTRUCTION SHEET SAID ! I DID NEED TWO PEOPLE TO SET IT IN PLACE THOUGH. ALL IN ALL IT IS A GREAT PRODUCT AND BUILT WELL . THANK YOU ETRAILER .

Quick delivery on custom hitch. Everything looks OK, no damage

Solid construction. Really improves the functionality of the adventure wagon. Takes way longer to install than the 1 hour Curt says though. Took the dealership 3+ hours with four guys working on it at one point. I wouldn’t recommend trying it yourself.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch
- Can Hands Free Tailgate Still be Used on 2018 Buick Regal TourX with a Trailer Hitch InstalledWe haven't been able to test fit the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver with a 2018 Buick Regal TourX that has the hands free liftgate yet but what we have found is you typically just have to kick to the left or right of the receiver instead of waving your foot back and forth. It will slightly interfere but you shouldn't lose the feature altogether. The installation instructions have been linked for you to reference as well.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Fit for 2018 Buick Regal TourXFor your 2018 Buick Regal Tourx the Curt hitch part # C12173 is a confirmed fit and would work well.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2018 Buick Regal TourX Using 2 Bike Rack and Cargo CarrierThe Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12173 is only available with a 1-1/4" receiver tube on your 2018 Buick Regal TourX. You can use a Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # C45785 to allow you to still use your 2" hitch mounted accessories. The adapter does reduce the receiver capacity by 50%, which would allow you to carry 175lbs with the Draw-Tite receiver. I recommend using a Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 1-1/4" Trailer Hitches # RM-061-125 to remove the rattle in the adapter to the receiver...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2018 Buick Regal TourXFor your 2018 Buick Regal TourX I'd recommend the Curt hitch part # C12173 over the Draw Tite # 36661 although both are really great options with a similar design. The reason I recommend the Curt is that in general we see the best quality control from their hitches and it seems the powdercoat is a little stronger which prevents flaking and corrosion. Then for trailer wiring you will need the Curt T-Connector part # C56389 as it installs the easiest and is a great harness. Then for a...
view full answer... - How Far From The Ground Does The Curt Trailer Hitch Sit On a 2018 Buick Regal TourX? When we installed the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12173 on a 2018 Buick Regal TourX in our shop we found it to have a ground clearance of approximately 9". You can compare this with what you have on your factory hitch as we do not have that information. This is currently our only receiver for your Regal.
view full answer... - Picture of Curt Trailer Hitch Installedon 2018 Buick Regal TourxSince most trailer hitches hang below the rear fascia/bumper they typically do end up cutting the ground clearance down a little bit. I was able to find a picture of the Curt hitch part # C12173 installed on a 2018 Buick Rregal Tourx like yours to show you how it's going to hang in relation to the rest of the trailer.

- Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2019 Buick Regal TourXBased on my research your 2019 Buick Regal TourX doesn't come from the factory with a pre-installed trailer wiring connecter but one can be easily added. For this I recommend the Curt T-One Wiring Harness # C56389. This custom harness simply gets plugged into existing ports behind the driver and passenger side tail lights. After running the hot lead up to the battery you will have a fully functional 4-Way connector to connect with and power a trailer's basic signal lights. I have attached...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatible with 2019 Buick Regal Sportback AWDThe Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12173 is only a fit for 2018 - 2020 Buick Regal TourX. For your 2019 Buick Regal Sportback, all the versions will use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12185. So, that is the hitch receiver I recommend for your Sportback AWD. If you will be towing with this hitch, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56389, ball mount # C45521, hitch ball # A-82, and pin and clip # F-4.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2019 Buick Regal TourXThere is a trailer hitch that fits your 2019 Buick Regal TourX but the only options are Class II hitches with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. The hitch I recommend for your '19 Regal TourX is the Curt # C12173 because it does not require fascia trimming to install and like all Curt trailer hitches is made in the U.S.A. I have added a link to the installation instructions of this hitch for you to check out as well.
