The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11527 on your 2018 Buick Encore is a class I hitch. Only the the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z will be compatible with your hitch. The Curt # C18085 is a very similar rack in almost every way except it is only rated for class II and class II hitches so it will not work for you.
The # HR200Z is a good choice and can secure up to 2 bikes that weigh 45 lbs each by the frame with its hooks and it measures 12-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin... view full answer...
The tow dolly I recommend for a 2020 Buick Enclave is the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly part # DM9713045 which is the best option on the market. In comparison to the Demco Kar Kaddy X part # DM9713093, the Kar Kaddy SS has a folding design so you can store the tow dolly in a nice compact package while not in use. This will be most useful while at the campgrounds where space can be limited. The Kar Kaddy SS also has nicer chrome wheels and a wheeled jack for easy maneuvering. view full answer...
The NSA Ready Brute Elite tow bar is a pretty iconic system and while we have carried it in the past, that was long enough ago that we don't really have too much information on the system anymore. I will say that while I do like the idea of having the brake system integrated with the tow bar, it does make me a little skeptical at how well it performs just because of all of the different moving parts involved.
When talking about the Roadmaster InvisiBrake # RM-8700 and the Demco Air Force... view full answer...
The only difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch # 13084 and the Curt Trailer Hitch # 13160, is the shape of the tubing.
Curt Trailer Hitch # 13084 has a square-tube design while the Curt Hitch # 13160 has a round-tube design. The square-tube hitch will be more visible on the back of your Jeep while the round-tube hitch will be tucked up just a little more. The round-tube hitch is designed to be a more sleek design.
Both the Curt Hitch # 13084 and # 13160 have the same towing and tongue... view full answer...
The main difference between the Adco 5th Wheel Trailer Covers # 290-34856 and # 290-52256 is that each is intended for a slightly different type of climate.
Cover # 290-34856 is intended as an all-climate cover that is made to withstand wind, high sun exposure, high moisture and snow.
AquaShed Cover # 290-52256 is intended specifically for wetter and warmer (moderate) climates where protection from moisture is a primary concern.
So for example, if you live in the high desert then cover... view full answer...
The Premium Self-adjusting Snow Tire Chains by Thule - K-Summit, # TH02230K44, has an adapter that fits over a lug nut on the wheel and gets tightened down to secure the center portion of the chains to the wheel. I have included a link to a video showing how the chains work. These chains are among the easiest to install since they are self adjusting and do not require a lot of clearance in the wheel well to operate. They work well in snow and ice.
You would have to remove the plate that... view full answer...
When installing a bike rack, bumper clearance is important. Two important measurements are hitch pin hole on receiver to end of bumper and hitch pin hole on the bike rack to the closest point of the rack. For bumper clearance, when we installed this on a 2009 Buick LaCrosse, the distance from the hitch pin hole to the end of the bumper was 6" with the Draw-Tite # 36374. I attached a picture for your reference.
As for ground clearance, the measurement from the top of the receiver to the... view full answer...
The Thule EasyFold bike rack, part # TH903202 would work well in your situation as long as you can get the weight of the bikes below the 65 lb/per threshold. As long as you are within the rack's capacity, you'll be fine.
I haven't head any reports of the rack failing with heavier bikes, nor am I seeing any reviews from our customers stating that the rack has failed due to the weight of the bikes. As long as the capacity of the rack isn't exceeded, the rack is installed as outlined in the... view full answer...
For your 2012 Buick Enclave the Draw-Tite 2-inch Class III hitch # 75528 is a confirmed fit. Install instructions and a complete install video are linked for you. The hitch comes with all needed hardware. You will also need a ball mount, hitch ball and pin/clip. I suggest ball mount # 989892.
In terms of the wiring harness options you ask a very good question.
