Expert Answers about Buick Encore
- Bike Rack Recommendation for Single E-Bike on 2017 Buick Encore
- You should place your E-Bike as close to your 2017 Buick Encore as possible when using the Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack # SA4412B, which means on the inside of the rack. The reason for this is so the rack and your bike remain as stable as possible and does not put added stress on either. The Freedom does not have a 1-bike rack option though the center mast does fold down like in the accompanying photo to help ease the loading process.
The better option that I strongly recommend instead...
view full answer... - Recommended Bike Rack To Transport Aventon Pace 350 Electric Bike On 2018 Buick Encore
- The Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount # TH910XT is indeed a fit for your 2018 Buick Encore. Now, trunk bike racks are typically not suitable for electric bikes due to the excess weight that electric bikes have. It looks like your Aventon Pace 350 weighs about 46lbs which is fairly light for an ebike. The weight capacity of the Thule Passage is 35lbs per bike, so you could try removing the battery and anything else that is easily removeable to meet the weight capacity of 35lbs....
view full answer... - Brake Controller Install Harness Recommendation for 2011 Four Winds Motorhome
- Your picture didn't make it through but I attached a picture that shows where the brake controller install port would be on a Ford F-53 chassis built in 2011. If this is what you have but no 7-way you can still use it to install a brake controller but you'll have to run a single 10 gauge wire back to the 7-way to carry the brake signal. The correct install harness you need though is the part # 3035-P to connect to it.
The brake controller I recommend is the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 because...

- I've got great news for you! The Konig K-Summit Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains # TH02230K45 are specifically designed to ride solely on your Encore's tire tread, so you don't have to worry about potentially damaging the brakes, suspension or any other vehicle parts, unlike traditional tire chains that drape over and require connections behind the tire.
I confirmed through my contact at Konig that these are perfectly safe to use on your 2019 Buick Encore AWD with tire size 215/55-18...
view full answer... - Which Roof Basket Will Fit Onto The Flush Rails On My 2015 Buick Encore?
- I am not sure which aftermarket rails you might be referring to. If you have flush rails running front to back and no crossbars then you will first need to install crossbars such as Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 along with Legs # RRSX040. Then you can add a roof basket like Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs # TH859XT.
The Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep # C18115 you were looking at is not able to fit...

- You will need to install a set of crossbars on our 2014 Buick Encore so that you can install the Thule Sup Taxi part # TH810001 that you referenced.
The Rhino Rack Roof Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX040 is a confirmed fit and would work well. This rack is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and is compatible with the Taxi.
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch and 2-Bike Rack for 2019 Buick Encore
- For a trailer hitch, I'd recommend the Curt Class I hitch, part # C11527. Many of our customers do indeed install their own hitches, I've linked you to the install instructions and an install video. You can take a look at those and likely get a good idea if the install is something you'd be comfortable doing yourself. If not, any trusted mechanic should be able to complete the install for you pretty quickly in around an hour.
The Thule # TH92BJ Doubletrack Pro XT is a nice bike rack, we...
view full answer... - How To Carry Four Bikes On a 2019 Buick Encore
- The best option to carry four bikes on a 2019 Buick Encore is with a trailer hitch and hitch mounted bike rack. However, since the only hitch available for your Encore is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11527 you will be limited to carrying only 2 bikes, even if you have a 4-bike rack. The Curt Hitch is a class I hitch and class one hitches cannot withstand the force of the other 2 bikes so far away from the hitch. The hitch could fail.
For a bike rack, the Thule Helium Pro...

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack that Will Fit a 2013 Buick Encore
- For your 2013 Buick Encore there are only 1-1/4 inch hitches available. The 2 inch hitch size is only used on larger vehicles that would have higher towing capacities.
The best solution is going to be to go with a hitch for your Encore like the part # C11527 and then go with a compatible bike rack.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have...

- I do have an option for you so that you can use your Thule Hullavator # TH898 Kayak Carrier on your 2016 Buick Encore, however there aren't any square bar mounting feet available that have been confirmed to fit the factory side rails on the vehicle's roof.
Your best option is going to be with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Bar System that consists of # RRVA126B-2 for the two 49" Vortex Aero Bars and # RRSX040 for the SRB Mounting Legs. Please just keep in mind that the bars won't be long enough...

- For the flush rails that you have on your 2017 Buick Encore we have the Rhino Rack Vortex roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX040 as a confirmed fit that would work well. Then for a load assist style carrier you could use the Yakima SweetRoll Kayak Roof Rack # Y04074 which has rollers to help load it from the rear of the vehicle.
view full answer... - Which Thule Kayak Carrier Can Carry 12 Foot Long Kayaks
- The Stacker can carry up to 4 kayaks as long as they are 10 feet in length or less but since your kayaks are 12 feet you can't use this rack unfortunately. You'd have to use J-style kayaks like the JayLow part # Y04073 for each kayak as these do not have length restrictions.
Be sure to check the weight capacity of your roof and roof rack and be sure not exceed this figure with the weight of your kayaks and carriers. The Y04073 weighs 13 lbs.
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack for Both a 2014 Buick Encore and 2014 Honda CR-V
- The Thule OutWay platform style trunk mount rack is listed as a fit for the 2014 Buick Encore but not the 2014 Honda CR-V. I would not recommend this rack for those vehicles though because it is very heavy when loaded and will damage the vehicles.
For a trunk mount bike rack that will fit both vehicles you can use the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top rack, # HRF2. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you.

- Adding a hitch to any vehicle is a great addition and gives you plenty of options for anything you may be transporting. Although there is not an option for a hidden hitch for your vehicle at this time, I do suggest the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver Item # C11527. Whether you are looking to add accessories, or tow a small trailer, this 1-1/4" hitch is more than capable. It provides a tongue weight rating of 200 pounds along with a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 pounds. When...
view full answer... - Recommended 3 Bike Carrier For 2015 Buick Encore
- A hitch mounted bike rack is a great option, but if you are having someone install a hitch for you the costs can grow quickly as you mentioned. For a more economical option, you may want to consider using a trunk mounted bike rack for your 2015 Buick Encore. I recommend the Thule Gateway Pro 3-Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # TH78VR. This rack comes with the integrated cable lock to secure your bikes to the rack but I recommend adding # TH533 to secure the rack to your vehicle....
view full answer... - Diode Lighting Kit Recommendation for 2017 Buick Encore being Flat Towed
- For lighting for your 2017 Buick Encore on a tow dolly you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267 for a solution that activates the vehicle taillights. 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 of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.
I attached an install video for this kit on a similar Buick Enclave...

view full answer... - Recommendation of 7-Way to 7-Blade and 4-Pole Wiring Harness on an RV
- 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...
