  • Recommended Items to Flat Tow 2015 Buick Enclave Behind 2008 Winnebago Tour RV
  • Flat towing a vehicle such as your 2015 Buick Enclave requires 5 basic components. These are a tow bar, safety cables, a lighting kit, and base plates and a supplementary braking system for the towed car. Each is covered in the helpful article I have linked for you. You will want to check your Enclave owner's manual (usually under the heading recreational towing) to make sure that your particular car can be flat towed and what preparation steps, if any, are needed to make it ready.

  • Recommended 3 Bike Trunk Mount Rack For A 2020 Buick Enclave
  • After doing some research The Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633 is confirmed to fit your 2020 Buick Enclave. I like this trunk mount bike rack over the others that we offer because the Fullback has supercrush anti-sway cradles with ratcheting zipstrip straps that will hold you bike frame at 3 points to keep it extra secure. When carrying 3 bikes you're limited up to 90 pounds of carrying weight. If you're trying to haul a female or oddly shaped frame bike you also need the Yakima Tube...

  • Parts Needed To Install a 7-Way and Trailer Brake Controller On a 2016 Buick Enclave
  • You will need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118271 to install a 7-way on your 2016 Buick Enclave. This kit includes the required fuses and relays you are going to need as well. For a trailer brake controller, I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR. The Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness # RED27FR is designed to connect to the factory harness connector under the dash.

  • Parts Needed to Tow Trailer with 2015 Buick Enclave
  • We do have all of the parts you're going to need, so never fear! For a hitch I recommend using the etrailer # e98863, which has a nice, durable powder coating that will hold up to the rigors of towing. This is a custom fit hitch so there's no need for drilling to install. You'll also need a wiring harness, so I recommend using the Tekonsha # 118271, which will give you the 7 way plug you need to tow your trailer with brakes. For a brake controller I recommend using the Tekonsha Prodigy...

  • Using Existing Yakima Bars on a 2007 Buick LaCrosse
  • It looks like the 2007 Buick LaCrosse uses the Yakima BaseLine Towers. For every Yakima crossbar set that is compatible with this LaCrosse, the towers are part # Y28TR, and the fit kit is the BaseClip Fit Kit, part # Y06170. These are the only parts you need for the JetStream Crossbars and the CoreBar Crossbars. If you have the Round Crossbars, you will also need the RoundBar SL Adapter, part # Y03536. If you have the HD Crossbars, you will also need the HD Bar SL Adapter, part # Y03541. If...

  • Wiring a Third Brake Light on a Camper Shell for a 2005 Ford Ranger
  • If you're needing to power a third brake light that's on a camper shell it will need to be wired into the truck's wiring. Use the Curt Tail Light Converter # C56196 to separate the turn signals from the brake light circuit. The red wire on the output side will then be wired to the brake light on the camper shell and the green and yellow will be capped off and not used.

  • Flat Towing Setup Recommendation For A 2022 Buick Encore GX
  • For your 2022 Buick Encore GX, you're going to need a high low adapter, a base plate, a tow bar, wiring a braking system, and safety cables. Let's start with a base plate, I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM32FR. This base plate creates a clean design when not in use and allow for quick connection and disconnection. Next, you'll need a tow bar. For this, I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 2 # RM-520. This tow bar is capable of handling up to 6,000lbs, which is...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2020 Buick Envision
  • I can definitely help you out with a flat towing setup for your 2020 Buick Envision! You can definitely use the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 523196-4 with the Adapter # RM-033 so that the base plate kit is compatible with a Blue Ox tow bar, but in all honesty it would be much easier to use the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523196-5 with the Adapter Kit # BX88185 instead because you don't have a whole bar that you need to use as an adapter. I'm guessing that...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2020 Buick Envision
  • That's correct, if you used the Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523196-5 with the Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 you wouldn't need the Blue Ox Adapter Brackets # BX88185 to tow your 2020 Buick Envision (and you wouldn't need to use the crossbar that comes with the tow bar). Just be sure you pick up a pair of safety cables like part # RM-643 as well. The Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR is a very popular choice for a portable braking system and would allow you to transfer the kit to future vehicles,...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For A Buick Enclave
  • When it comes to installing a trailer hitch on your 2022 Buick Enclave The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2 inch # CU29FR is confirmed for your vehicle. The trailer hitch has a concealed cross tube and is completely hidden besides the hitch head. The hitch has a black powder coat finish which covers the e-coat base for superior rust protection. The hitch has a bolt-on installation with no welding required, but it is actually quite extensive. I attached an installation...

  • In order to use the Roadmaster EZ Crossbar Style Base Plate Kit # 523149-1 with your Blue Ox tow bar like the Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX4330 you would need to use the RoadMaster Base Plate to Blue Ox Tow Bars Adapter # RM-033. Since you mentioned this is your first time flat towing, I have included the other parts you will need to flat tow. A flat tow package consists of at least 5 main parts and often times requires some additional parts. The 5 main parts are a base plate...

  • Correct Ball Mount for a 1995 Buick Riviera
  • I am not sure which draw bar you have, but the recommended draw bar for your vehicle and trailer hitch is the Class II Draw bar 3-1/8 inch Rise, part # 36061. None of the hitches or draw bars we carry have tapered receivers or shanks, so the only thing I can think of is that you have a Class 1 hitch and a Class 2 draw bar which are not compatible with each other even though they have the same 1-1/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch shank. . The Class 2 shank will not fit in a Class 1 hitch, but a class...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver, Wiring Harness & Ball Mount for Towing a Trailer With a 2023 Buick Encore GX
  • First you will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C94UR for your 2023 Buick Encore GX. The Curt Drawbar # C45522 will then be paired with either a 1-7/8" # C40001 or 2" # C40018 hitch ball to match the coupler. I recommend then using the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock and Coupler Lock Set # 3794DAT to secure the ball mount to your Encore and have locks to secure the trailer to your Encore or while in storage. For the 4-way wiring you will need either the T-One Vehicle Wiring...

  • Is Roadmaster RM-88400 Brake Lite Relay Necessary to Flat Tow 2018 Buick Envision
  • According to Roadmaster, you won't need the # RM-88400 brake light relay for a portable braking system. You will however need a brake lamp switch like # RM-751482 and a 12-v outlet like # RM-9332 if the braking system you choose does't include one. Because Buick recommends that two fuses be pulled for flat towing, I'd also recommend the Roadmaster fusemaster, part # RM76512 which will allow you to bypass those fuses with the flick of a switch instead of needing to locate and pull them...

  • Recommended Brake Controller for 2017 Buick Enclave Without Tow Package
  • You will still need a brake controller after installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118271 on your 2017 Buick Enclave. Since your Enclave didn't come with the factory tow package you won't have a plug and play adapter for a brake controller, so I recommend going with a wireless unit. The wireless controller I recommend using is the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 2 Axles - Proportional # C51180 since it lets you...

There are a few other things needed to flat tow a vehicle if you do not already have them: safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For safety cables you can use # RM-643.
