I also attached a section of the instructions that shows exactly where to cut the plastic panel. view full answer...
Hey Brad, that is a good question. The Roadmaster Battery Disconnect # RM-766 attaches to the positive battery post because that is what the polarity of the solenoid is designed for. This also allows for a positive current source for accessories such as a breakaway switch or stop light switch.
If you were to disconnect the battery without using a Roadmaster Battery Disconnect, you would just pull the negative cable off like it says in your manual. With the # RM-766 though it will connect... view full answer...
I checked with Blue Ox just now and confirmed that the base plate kit part # BLU43FR does fit your 2022 Buick Encore GX AWD. This actually does not fit the Sport Touring models but does fit yours.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. One of the most popular compatible tow bars is the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 which comes with safety cables. The coiled design helps keep the cables... view full answer...
Hey Edwin, the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BLU43FR is a confirmed fit for a 2021 Buick Encore GX AWD and would work great with a Blue Ox tow bar like the part # BX7420.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
MaxxFan does not offer a taller garnish than what comes with the MaxxFan part # MA00-07500K that you referenced but the included garnish can fit roof thicknesses that are up to 6-1/2 inches thick so you might check to see if it could fit.
If you trimmed yours down already and need a new one we have that with part # MA54FR. view full answer...

The 2020 Buick Encore GX needs to have the battery disconnected while flat towing the vehicle per manufacturer instructions. This is to ensure the safety of your vehicle's components. Typically this is to prevent the steering wheel from locking and causing your tires to drag anytime you make a turn.
To make this as simple as flipping a switch you can install the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect with Switch for Towed Vehicle w/ Supplemental Braking System # RM-766. This will allow... view full answer...
There currently isn't any info available for flat towing equipment for the 2022 Buick Encore GX. It will probably be some time before manufacturers are able to get one in to fabricate the correct equipment.
I do however have flat towing information available for the 2021 Buick Encore GX:
Looking at the online manual for the 2021 Buick Encore GX it states that the AWD models are capable of being flat towed (all four wheels on the ground) but are not capable of being dolly towed (two... view full answer...
For vehicles like your 2021 Buick Encore GX that have to have the battery disconnected to flat tow you would power the Roadmaster stoplight switch part # RM62FR from the battery directly. In the attached instructions it shows that you can use either as a power source and in your situation you'd need to use the battery directly. view full answer...
Rather than disconnecting the battery by removing the ground connection I recommend installing the Roadmaster Battery Disconnect # RM-766 on your 2023 Buick Encore GX. This will allow you to Run a 12 Volt Outlet # RM-9332 for your Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR which connects to the power side of the battery disconnect. This way when you press the button on your dash to disconnect the battery this outlet still has power for the braking system.
Be sure to also install the Charge Line Kit #... view full answer...

For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have all of these components just let me know and I can make some additional recommendations for you. view full answer...
The lower grille of the ST package is shaped differently and that's where the base plate kits come through so that's why there's an issue.
So for the time being you could tow it with a dolly like the part # RM-2050-1 and you'd be good since the front grille doesn't affect the fit on a dolly. view full answer...
Installation of the # DM49YV will require drilling one hole with a 7/16 drill bit. Everything else uses the existing holes on your 2021 Buick Encore GX.
I have attached a link below which will provide you with a list of local installers near 55720. Anyone on that list should be able to handle the base plate installation, so feel free to reach out to them and compare installation costs.
