Expert Answers about Buick Envision
- What Causes the Battery To Die On a 2017 Buick Envision While In Tow Even With Fuses Pulled
- The fuses you will need to pull/disable prior to towing a 2017 Buick Envision are the #29 Body Control Module 1 and #32 Body Control Module 2 which are both located in the instrument panel fuse block which is in the passenger glove box. That said, there is still a chance your battery could drain on longer trips so the solution for you is to install a charge line between the toad and motorhome, the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles part # RM-156-25.

- The F29 (body control module 2) and F32 (body control module 1) are located in the instrument panel fuse block which is located in the passenger glove box. You are correct in that they will need to be pulled each time you flat-tow the vehicle. If you don't want to physically pull the fuses each time then you can install the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass Switch part # RM76512.

- I find the CIPA # 7070-2 mirrors are some of the best universal mirrors since there are no custom fit options for your 2024 Buick Envision. These have adjustable arms which allows them to conform to the mirrors and a simple strap system to hold them in place without easily loosening while you drive.
We also have an individual mirror # 7070 or Strap Set # 11952STRAP should they become damaged. This saves you from having to get an entire set like some others.

- You asked about Blue Ox and Roadmaster complete systems but set ups to flat tow a vehicle are an a-la-carte situation where the user picks the pieces that they prefer based on features and value. In my recommendation below I have parts from several companies. Personally, where value is equal, I prefer to use one brand mainly. In this case, Roadmaster, as they carry many of the pieces we need and I can be assured that they will work together well.

- It is possible to wire the Rear View Safety Universal System part # RVS-770619N so that it can come on when driving forward. You'd just want to use the running light circuit as the trigger circuit instead of the reverse light circuit. This way any time you put on the running or head lights you'd be able to see behind you.

- There are 2 sets of Roadmaster base plates for your 2017 Buick Envision.
The first is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523188-5. With this kit you do have removable arms that allow for a clean look when you are not towing your Envision. This will also give you the faster connection meathod as it does not require the installation of the crossbar.

- We have had some feedback from customers who had installed the Curt hitch # C94ER on a 2022 Buick Envision and the consensus seems to be that the exhaust needs to lower for the hitch to fit past it. This would be easier than removing the rear bumper and is a pretty standard step for most hitch installs. It basically comes down to removing the hitch hangers which are rubber isolators that secure it to the vehicle and letting it hang a little lower.

view full answer... - 2017 Buick Envision Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a Bike Rack
- I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e59KR for your 2017 Buick Envision because it has a matte black finish that blends in with any black trim on your vehicle and does a great job at hiding any scratches that might happen from road debris.
If you don't already have a bike rack then I recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 # NV22G because it's a solid rack with a good reputation and attaching it to your trailer hitch will be easy since you just have a simple locking hitch pin....

- The adaptive cruise control in this case does not matter when choosing base plates for a 2017 Buick Envision. The same set, # RM-523188-4, fits both models with and without adaptive cruise control so no worries! The base plates are compatible with the Falcon 2 tow bar # RM-520 that you have.
More to the point of your question adaptive cruise control uses what is essentially forward facing radar to detect vehicles in front of you and will adjust the vehicle speed accordingly. On some vehicles...
view full answer... - Roadmaster Rock Guards for Towed Vehicle
- The Roadmaster # RM-4000 "Guardian" rock guard you mentioned only works with a "crossbar" style base plate system. Same with the # RM-4700 "Tow Defender." (Also works with some other crossbar base plate systems by other companies.) However the Roadmaster Tow Defender # RM-4750 will work with "direct connect" style base plates systems such as the Roadmaster # RM-523196-5 that you have installed on your Buick.
view full answer... - Roof Cargo Box that Will Allow Rear Hatch of 2017 Buick Envision to Open
- I have a cargo box solution for your vehicle that has 45 inches form center of front crossbar back to hatch seam but the Thule Sidekick part # TH78GC that you referenced requires at least 51 inches there otherwise the hatch will interfere and not open.
The Yakima Rocketbox 14 part # Y07192 requires 45 inches so since that is what you have it would work and is only option.
view full answer... - Do Curt and Draw Tite Trailer Hitches for 2017 Buick Envision Fit with Dual Exhaust
- We checked with Curt and Draw Tite and both hitches fit with single or dual exhaust so the part # C13405 or the Draw Tite # 76080 would fit and work great. I attached the install video links as well as attached a picture that shows what the hitch looks like installed which shows how the hitch fits relative to the exhaust.
I'd go with the Draw Tite over the Curt as it has higher capacities and will be a bit less visible once installed.

- Thanks so much for your purchase with us! From the looks of your order, you purchased the Curt Hitch - 2" # C13292 from us.
For a great cargo carrier for that hitch, I recommend the 20x48 Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # 6502. This carrier is made of durable steel construction and comes with a 500-pound maximum weight capacity. It also comes with a shank that measures 7-1/2 inches from the center of the pinhole to the closest part of the platform when folded. With this length, you...
view full answer... - 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2019 Buick Envision
- To add trailer wiring to your 2019 Buick Envision you would need to install a universal style of trailer wiring like the Curt 4-way kit part # C59236 which installs by splicing into the taillight circuits of the vehicle. There isn't a way to use tow bar wiring in reverse like you asked about.
view full answer... - Is a Lift or Jack Needed to Install Curt Hitch C13292 on a 2017 Buick Envision
- The rear of your 2017 Buick Envision sits up high enough that you would not need to lift the rear of the vehicle to install the Curt hitch part # C13292. In the linked installation instructions the vehicle is up on a lift but that's done just to make taking pictures a bit easier.
view full answer... - Determining The Correct Ball Mount For 2017 Buick Envision W/ Draw-Tite Hitch 76080
- When we installed the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76080 on a similar 2017 Buick Envision we found that from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver was 16-1/2".
To determine which ball mount will have the correct rise or drop for your trailer, you will need to level your trailer and measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. If the trailer coupler is lower than 16-1/2" you will need a ball mount with a drop that matches the difference, and if the coupler is...
