• 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...

• 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 Flat Tow a 2013 Buick Enclave Front Wheel Drive
• To flat tow your 2013 Buick Enclave you're going to need a tow bar, base plates, wiring for the lights, a supplemental braking system for the brakes, and possibly a high-low adapter.

• Is a Brake Controller Included in the Tow Package for a 2009 Buick Enclave

The adapter plugs into the brake controller and the port under the dash, the location of the port is shown in the instructions I've linked for you.

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2013 Buick Enclave Behind an RV
• The first thing to do is check the capacity of the hitch on your Winnebago. The weight capacity of a Class III hitch varies. There should be a sticker on the hitch but if not the capacity is probably in the RV literature. Assuming that the RV and hitch are rated high enough you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to tow your 2013 Buick Enclave. Starting with the base plates # 523149-1 is an excellent choice. The arms can be removed when not...
