  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2017 Buick Envision
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76080 still uses the wire ties to fix the fascia issue. This does solve the issue, but if you prefer an alternative I recommend the Curt # C13292. This hitch receiver does not install in the same manner and will not have the same issue. I've attached the installation instructions and videos for both receivers to assist. For your trailer wiring, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for a 2021 Buick Envison Hauling a Cannondale Step-Through Bike
  • I recommend checking out the Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH92BJ. This bike rack will work with up to 2 step-through bikes weighing 35 lbs each (70 lbs total), a maximum of 5" wide tires, and a maximum wheelbase of 46 1/2". This is a hitch mounted rack, so if you don't have a trailer hitch yet you're going to need to add one with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C94NR.

  • Does 2020 Buick Envision Need Brake Light Relay and Which is Easier Blue Ox or Roadmaster Setup
  • Does our Allegro have trailer wiring already present at the rear of the vehicle? Like with a 7-way connector? If so the circuits are already combined regardless of what you see on the vehicle taillights. If you plan to use a diode kit or bulb and socket tow bar lighting solution you will need a brake light relay like # RM-88400 when using the brake system you mentioned so that the brake lights won't override the blinkers. It's a toss up on which is easier to use between the Roadmaster...

In this case, Roadmaster, as they carry many of the pieces we need and I can be assured that they will work together well. To flat tow your 2019 Buick Envision...

  • Roadmaster Rock Guards for Towed Vehicle
  • The Roadmaster # RM-4000 "Guardian" rock guard you mentioned only works with a "crossbar" style base plate system. Same with the # RM-4700 "Tow Defender."

  • 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.
