To determine if you will be able to open up your rear hatch door after installing the Inno Multi Fork Lock Roof Bike Rack # INA392, you'll need to take a quick measurement. With your rear hatch open, measure 52 inches back (toward the rear of the vehicle) from the front edge of the front crossbar on your Enclave. This is the space that will be occupied by the Canyon's rail assembly behind your front crossbar. So, if that measurement does not come into contact with your hatch door, you'll... view full answer...
Like you said there are only 1-1/4 inch hitches for your 2017 Buick Encore. In fact, there is only one available for your Encore. You could use Curt hitch # C11527 with adapter # HTAD to use a 2 inch bike rack. However, the use of the adapter reduces the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch from 200 pounds down to 100 pounds.
The Q Slot PS63138 weighs about 65 pounds meaning you will only have 35 pounds of capacity left over. As long as the combined weight of the bikes is less... view full answer...
The Curt Class I hitch # C11527 is rated for 200 lb tongue weight and 2,000 lbs towing, most small utility/motorcycle trailers and one dirt bike would be less than this max range; please reference your trailer and motorcycles weight for an accurate assessment. I highly recommend that you refer to your specific vehicle's owner's manual prior to towing. My research, the online manual I have available (Part No. 84098804 B Second Printing), has a statement on p197 "The vehicle is neither... view full answer...
To add a 6-Pin round connector to your vehicle you will need an adapter in addition to the wiring harness that you referenced.
For your 2017 Buick Encore the Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness # C56363 is where you'll need to start. The Next thing that you will need is the 4-Pole to 6-Pole Adapter # A10-6034VP. This will plug right into the 4-Way that you already have installed on your Encore. All you have to do at this point is add the extra wiring using 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 in addition... view full answer...

You can use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # C45785 with the Class I Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11527 on your 2016 Buick Encore but the problem is that the adapter reduces the overall weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50%. This means that this trailer hitch will be able to tow 1,000 lbs and has a tongue weight capacity of 100 lbs. The other thing to note is that you will experience more play in the receiver with the adapter.

The Hopkins Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole # 37185 can be a solution for you. But we don't carry an adapter to plug into your RVs existing 7-way trailer connector to give you both of the connectors you want.
On the Hopkins adapter, the 4-Way plug isn't going to just plug into your RV so you're going to need to cut the 4-flat end of it off. Then you'll also cut off the 7-Way that's currently on the RV. After that you'll essentially wire the Hopkins adapter and the wiring on your... view full answer...
The taillight circuit of your vehicle trailer wiring would not have enough amperage available to charge a battery with the Tekonsha Two Stage 12 V DC Battery Charger # 2024-07. It needs to be run to the 12 volt accessory circuit of your trailer wiring. If you only had a 4-way installed on your vehicle you'd need to convert it to a 7-way with the # ETBC7L to accomplish. This comes with an easy to install 7-way adapter and all of the wiring needed to activate the 12 volt accessory circuit. view full answer...

The Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier # TH910XT is compatible with your 2019 Buick Encore with the rear hatch.
Just like with any other trunk mount rack you will need to remove the bikes and the bike rack prior to opening up your rear hatch. Reason being that the hooks used to mount the bike rack can possibly damage your vehicle, the straps could get loose, plus the rear hatch wasn't designed to hold that kind of weight so it could cause the hatch to close unexpectantly on you.

The Thule Passage Trunk Mounted Bike Rack part # TH910XT is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Buick Encore.
Based on my research, it looks like your Encore may have a top rear spoiler. Some trunk mounted bike racks are not designed to fit vehicles with these spoilers. However my contact at Thule stated that if the spoiler is not attached to the gate, but attached to the portion of the vehicle above the gate, then you will be able to use the Thule Passage # TH910XT.

While a class I receiver like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11527 for your 2020 Buick Encore is rated to tow up to 2,000lbs with up to 200lbs of tongue weight, I do see a note in your owners manual stating "Never tow a trailer with your vehicle. It was not designed or intended to tow a trailer." While it is your vehicle and ultimately comes down to you if you decide if your going to tow you will want to keep the weight as low as possible.

Not all vehicles can handle the additional amperage draw of the trailer taillights on the vehicle taillight circuits. Those vehicles need setup that draws power from the battery. Some vehicles have higher rated circuits that can handle this, and others need to have the power drawn straight from the battery to protect the taillight circuits.
For your 2017 Buick Encore you need to install a harness that draws power from the battery to protect the taillight circuits. For that you would need... view full answer...
