Class I hitches are only rated for 2 bikes, even if the carrier could hold more.
As for it not being leveled, that doesn't sound right. I attached a picture of a hitch installed here at etrailer and you can see it does not have a downward slant. I attached the installation manual below and you can watch the attached video as well. I recommend taking it back to the shop to make sure they installed it properly before you put any bike racks on it. view full answer...
According to Curt, the manufacturer of the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, # C11527, this trailer hitch will fit the 2013 and 2014 Buick Encore. Buick did not make any changes in the mounting points for the trailer hitch on the 2014 models. view full answer...
Yes. The Curt # C11527 is also a fit for the AWD versions of the 2016 Buick Encore. You've made a good choice with the Curt hitch, since their powder coating tends to be a little bit more durable than the other available hitches for your Encore so it will hold up to some of the nicks in the coating that can occur on these hitches. That's ultimately going to help limit corrosion and make sure that your hitch lasts for as long as it's on your vehicle.

Yes, as long as you have at least 4 inches of crossbar overhang on each side of your 2019 Buick Encore the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898 will work great. The carrier is compatible with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars # RRVA126B-2.
This is a really nice kayak carrier that will greatly reduce the pain and energy it normally takes to load a kayak onto the roof of your Encore and it can secure 1 kayak that's up to 75 pounds. All the needed tie-down straps are included.

The distance the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack, # SH22G, sets from your bumper is dependent in part by the specific hitch you have installed. The distance from center of hitch pin hole to the closest part of carrier when folded down is11". From center of hitch pin hole to the closest part of carrier when folded up is 7-1/2". view full answer...
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.
You will want to use a light trailer like... view full answer...
Yes, the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier # TH911XT is confirmed to fit your 2017 Buick Encore. Please note that if any of your bikes does not have a horizontal top tube then you'll need the adapter bar # TH982XT to keep the bike level and gain the best ground clearance.
To add bike and rack locks to this rack you need the Passive Security Strap # TH533 and a cable lock like part # e98891. view full answer...
The Thule Sidekick Roof Mounted Cargo Carrier Box part # TH78GC has inside dimensions of 50" long x 23" wide. Therefore, if the object in question did not exceed this it would fit just fine inside. If you wanted to free space up inside the box you could also use the Malone Paddle Carrier part # MPG121 which is designed specially for paddles and other longer objects. view full answer...
We do have hitches available for the 2015 Buick Encore with Class I Curt hitch part # C11527. I did take a look at your owner's manual and there is not a towing capacity listed because Buick does not recommend using this vehicle to tow a trailer because it is not designed to handle the extra weight.
If you still plan on doing some towing, you will need a wiring harness to illuminate the trailer lights with part # 118588 and a 1-1/4" hitch compatible ball mount. You will need to do some... 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...
The controller is essentially the brains of the system so swapping out the condenser unit on the roof should not affect the system's ability to control the furnace. The thermostat allows you to communicate with the controller which then communicates with the condenser to activate the system just like it does with the furnace.

You are correct that the only size trailer hitch receiver that fits your 2015 Buick Encore is 1-1/4 inches. In fact, we only have one hitch available for your 2015 Buick Encore is the Curt # C11527. This is a Class I hitch which will limit you to Class I compatible bike racks.
For a rack, I recommend the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Pearl
Item # SH12P. It has an easy tool-free installation and many other great features that you can see on the... view full answer...
Yes. Thule, the manufacturer of the Gateway trunk mount bike rack # TH88VR, has done testing and determined that it does fit the 2015 Buick Encore! I have linked a video featuring this bike rack for you.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have linked a... view full answer...
In order to determine whether or not you'll have enough room to use the The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH12G on your 2019 Buick Encore you'll need to measure the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole on your Draw-Tite # 36554 hitch to the furthest edge of your bumper. I should also note, using a hitch extender like the Brophy # HES6 reduces the tongue weight of your hitch by 50%- so if your bikes and rack combined weigh more than 150-lbs this is not a good option.
The Kuat Sherpa has 7-1/2"... view full answer...
Both of your vehicles are confirmed to work with your Thule Platform Bike Rack part # TH65JV. I checked with Thule to confirm this. For the 2014 Buick Encore you will want to use the Fit Dial setting of 8.
For the 2014 Kia Sorrento you would want to use the Fit Dial setting of 10. view full answer...
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.

The Draw Tite hitch # 75908 only fits Kia Sorentos and Hyundai Santa Fe models so you'd need a new hitch for your 2021 Buick Encore like the Curt # C11527 since the vehicles are very different. view full answer...
When towing a vehicle on a dolly like the part # RM-2050-1 that you referenced you need the steering wheel to be locked so that around corners the dolly fenders don't hit the door or fender of the vehicle.
If your steering wheel doesn't lock when the key is off you can use your seat belt to lock it. Wrap the seat belt a couple times around the steering wheel and then buckle it in place. Now pull the seat belt all the way out so that as you let it retract it locks. Now your wheel will be locked. view full answer...
The highest class rating for a trailer hitch that fits your 2016 Buick Encore is the Class I Curt # C11527 with the 1-1/4" receiver. While this isn't a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver, it will still do a great job at helping you to transport cargo or up to 2 bikes. If you let me know what you're needing the trailer hitch for I can help you choose any other parts you're needing.

Curt Class I hitch # C11527 is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Buick Encore. You can see the installation in the linked video and the written instructions are linked as well. This hitch will be compatible with the 1-1/4-inch version of the Thule T2 Pro XTR, which is part # TH23JV. This rack is also made in versions for 2-inch hitches and those other versions are not compatible with your hitch.
