The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e98863, for a 2008 Buick Enclave, has a three out of ten on our difficulty to install scale. It looks like a pretty simple installation there's no cutting or trimming required. You will have to temporarily detach one of the muffler braces so I recommend having your Enclave sitting for awhile where you are going to install the hitch so the muffler and surrounding area isn't hot. I have linked the instructions and also a couple of install video's... view full answer...
Trailer wiring harness # 118270 will plug into a single connector on your 2013 Buick Enclave. You will need to locate the vehicle’s connector located under the Enclave on the passenger's side. Look for an
opening to the right of the muffler. Reach up into opening to locate the grey connector. Disconnect the mating protective cover and discard. Connect the Enclave connector to the mating harness. All connector surfaces should be clean and free of dirt. Be careful not to damage the locking... view full answer...
Installing the Curt # C56393 on your 2020 Buick Enclave will give you a working 7-way at the rear of your vehicle. Since the Curt Echo # C51180 installs by plugging in-line with the 7-way at the back there is no need for additional wiring inside of the cab of your vehicle. The only thing you will need to do is plug in the Echo, plug in the trailer, and pair it with your phone through the app and you're all set. view full answer...
In my experience the fascia trim panel cannot be replaced on the Buick Enclave vehicles after the installation of any of the hitches that are available for that vehicle. This is because the fascia for the Enclave is shaped differently than the ones for the Traverse. I posted a photo that one of our customers sent in showing how he trimmed that center fascia piece so that he could reinstall it on his vehicle. We also have a hitch install video on a 2012 Enclave for you to review, see link.

The factory port to which the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118270 connects is located around the area you mentioned looking (behind passenger side wheel well), but based on the picture you attached I think you may have found a different plug that's not used for this purpose.
The correct plug is going to be pretty high up on the vehicle and it does take a good amount of reach to access it. I have attached an image of what the plug looks like (the picture is showing it with it... view full answer...
The type of fuse that needs to be bypassed when flat towing your 2009 Buick Enclave is a 50 amp FMX type fuse which we have a bypass switch made for with the part # RM-76517 which would be a perfect solution. view full answer...
The Curt and the Draw Tite hitch for your 2019 Buick Enclave are similar enough that it would not be worth it to go with the higher priced version. They both fit and install the same and allow the rear bumper cover to install over the hitch when not in use. If I were you I would go with the # CU29FR. view full answer...
On the 2014 Buick Enclave you will not be able to reinstall the regular fascia door to cover the hitch receiver after the hitch is installed. You would have to get the alternate from a GM dealer. I have seen that it can be expensive and it has to be painted to match the vehicle.
If you plan on doing some towing with trailer hitch # 75528 then I also recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. it comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. For trailer wiring... view full answer...
The 7-way kit part # 118287 will fit behind the rear hitch access panel of your 2020 Buick Enclave. You might have to bend the bracket back a little bit so that the cover fits over it but that wouldn't be an issue at all. view full answer...
Based on my research, your 2011 Buick Enclave does not require that the battery be disconnected to flat tow. The purpose of the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect, # RM-766, is to provide a constant charge to your towed vehicle's battery if the vehicle manufacturer requires the battery to be disconnected when flat towing. I recommend checking your owners manual to verify if the battery on your Enclave must be disconnected to flat tow.

Whenever hardwiring a brake controller, like the Prodigy P2 # 90885, to a vehicle, like your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, we always recommend using a circuit tested like part # PTW2992 to verify wire functions. The only time that this isn't necessary is if the wires on your Sprinter are already labeled.
Previously we have found that the following wires on your Sprinter will connect to the follow functions on your brake controller:

You can easily add a 7-way to your 2019 Buick Enclave. The only thing you need is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118287.
To install this you simply need to plug this into the factory harness, which is on the driver's side stashed under the vehicle, as you can see in the cut out of the linked installation instructions I added for you.
I also added a link to a video review of this harness for you to take a look at. view full answer...
According to my research, you are not alone in having a difficult time finding the factory trailer brake controller wiring on your 2018 Buick Enclave. I was able to find a tech bulletin on your Buick Enclave that describes exactly where the wiring can be located.
The blunt wires for installing a brake controller are part of the instrument panel wiring harness, and they are located under the left instrument panel, behind the front side door sill garnish molding trim. We unfortunately don't... view full answer...
The procedure on the Traverse/Terrain/Enclave is a little different than usual. There are at least two ways to find the stoplight switch signal. You can check under the under-dash trim panel for the brake controller connector, as shown in the photo. If the connector is present, you can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 on the wires feeding the connector. One of the wires should go hot with the brake pedal. If the connector isn't present, the brake stoplight signal can be accessed... view full answer...
The 2021 Buick Enclave is pre-wired for a brake controller.
If you don't already have a 7-way brake controller, you can install one using part # 118287 which would plug into the connector located under the vehicle on the driver's side just forward of the bumper as shown in the linked video.
The Tekonsha Primus you'd looked at, part # TK90160 would be a great choice, and includes the pigtail that connects to the tow package wiring under the dash.
The controller would wire up to the blunt... view full answer...
If you have flush factory rails with fixed mounting points on your 2018 Buick Enclave, the part you need in addition to the crossbars # RRVA126B-2 is the RCL Legs for Rhino-Rack Crossbars and Pioneer Platforms - Fixed Mounting Points - Qty 4 # RRRCL4 and the Custom RCP Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack RC and RV Series Roof Rack Legs - Fixed Mounting Points # RR32SV. I went ahead and attached a video that shows you how this system attaches to the fixed mounting points. view full answer...
If your Enclave has the 7-Way connector that has the factory harness that plugs into the rear of it, the 4-Pole Trailer Adapter for GM trucks with Factory 7 Way, part # 118384 will work great for you.
Another option would be to use an adapter that would plug into the front of the 7-way, like the 7 to 4-Way Adapter with Tester, part # 47345. view full answer...
Once installed, the front face of the receiver will extend a bit too far rearward in order for the fascia door to be reinstalled.
From what I have been able to determine in my research, the other fascia door you mentioned (with the hump in it) can be obtained from your Buick dealer, but it is intended to work with the OEM hitch because the aftermarket hitch receiver tubes extend a bit further rearward.
So, you can install an aftermarket hitch and leave off the fascia door, or purchase... view full answer...
The Demco Trailer Coupler # DM07678-95 does not have an adjustable wedge as it is intended to only work with the 2-5/16 inch hitch ball. There should only be a minimal amount of slack for proper turning. view full answer...
How you'll proceed will depend on if the trailer has brakes or not. Usually, the fact that a trailer uses a 7-way indicates that the trailer has brakes but that's not always the case.
If the trailer doesn't have brakes, you'll first install the # 118450. This provides easy access to the taillight circuits without needing to cut and splice into any wiring. You'll then install the # 37185 adapter that will convert the 4-pole to a 7-way connector. The adapter will plug directly into the 4-pole... view full answer...
