Expert Answers about Buick Regal TourX


  • How to Transport Power Chair on 2018 Cadillac XTS That Has Only 100-lb Allowable Tongue Weight
  • I checked the online edition of the owner's manual for the 2018 Cadillac XTS and it does indeed state the maximum trailer weight is 1000-lbs, just as you mentioned, but is also notes that the tongue weight of the connected trailer should not exceed 10% of that maximum, which would then be 100-lbs. This note appears on the right-hand side of page 233. The three 1-1/4-inch Class II hitches offered for the car, such as Curt # C12115 shown on the linked page, all have the same rated maximum...

  • Are Separate 12V Power Feeds Needed for Curt 4-Pole Harness and Autowbrake Trailer Brake Controller
  • You can install both the Curt 4-pole wiring harness # C56389 and the Autowbrake Trailer Mount Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 (and the required 7-way kit # ETBC7L) in your 2019 Buick Regal TourX but each one of these items must have its own dedicated power connection to the vehicle battery. I realize its no fun crawling under the car to route those power wires but this is critical for safety and for proper operation of these devices. For a worst-case example, if there were a fault...

  • Can Hands Free Tailgate Still be Used on 2018 Buick Regal TourX with a Trailer Hitch Installed
  • We haven't been able to test fit the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver with a 2018 Buick Regal TourX that has the hands free liftgate yet but what we have found is you typically just have to kick to the left or right of the receiver instead of waving your foot back and forth. It will slightly interfere but you shouldn't lose the feature altogether. The installation instructions have been linked for you to reference as well.

  • How Far From The Ground Does The Curt Trailer Hitch Sit On a 2018 Buick Regal TourX?
  • When we installed the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12173 on a 2018 Buick Regal TourX in our shop we found it to have a ground clearance of approximately 9". You can compare this with what you have on your factory hitch as we do not have that information. This is currently our only receiver for your Regal.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2018 Buick Regal TourX
  • For your 2018 Buick Regal TourX I'd recommend the Curt hitch part # C12173 over the Draw Tite # 36661 although both are really great options with a similar design. The reason I recommend the Curt is that in general we see the best quality control from their hitches and it seems the powdercoat is a little stronger which prevents flaking and corrosion. Then for trailer wiring you will need the Curt T-Connector part # C56389 as it installs the easiest and is a great harness. Then for a...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2019 Buick Regal TourX
  • Based on my research your 2019 Buick Regal TourX doesn't come from the factory with a pre-installed trailer wiring connecter but one can be easily added. For this I recommend the Curt T-One Wiring Harness # C56389. This custom harness simply gets plugged into existing ports behind the driver and passenger side tail lights. After running the hot lead up to the battery you will have a fully functional 4-Way connector to connect with and power a trailer's basic signal lights. I have attached...

  • Will Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack Work for Fat Tire Bike
  • Yes, the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack for Fat Bikes # TH599000-FB will work with tires that are up to 5 inches wide, and is a wheel-mounted bike rack so you do not have to take off your tire when you load the bike on your roof. The UpRide will hold your bike very securely with a wheel cage and hook for the front wheel and ratchet strap for the rear wheel. You can mount it on your crossbars with its clamp system, or if your roof rack has a channel system (a T-slot), it can also mount that...

  • Replacement Bolt On Fulton 1600lb Trailer Jack
  • I wish I had better news, but unfortunately your Fulton 1600 jack is not serviceable and there are not any replacement wheel assemblies for your setup. You would need to replace the jack with something like Fulton F2 Swing-Up Trailer Jack, Sidewind, Weld-On - 1,600 lbs # F1413040134. This jack has 1 large 8" wheel, so you will have more support and less chance of bending the wheel compared to the older small wheel setup. Just to verify fitment, this jack fits 3" x 3" and 3" x 4" tongues,...

  • Will the Lippert Trailer Shocks Fit a 2,700 Lb Axle with 2-3/8 Inch Diameter
  • It is very possible for both a 2,700 lb and 3,500 lb trailer axle to have a 2-3/8" diameter axle. If you have a 2-3/8" diameter axle then you can use the Lippert Components Bolt-On Shock Kit part # LC281255. The description states for 3,500 lb axles but that is just because they generally have a 2-3/8" diameter. There will not be any issues with your 2,700 lb axle. These shocks will do a great job of improving the ride quality of your trailer. They are also very easy to install as you can...

  • Best Tire Cables for a 2018 Buick Regal TourX with 235/50-18 Tires
  • If you are referring to the Titan Chain Diagonal Alloy Cable Snow Tire Chains part # TC343DC then yes, these cables will fit the 235/50-18 tires that you have on your 2018 Buick Regal TourX. They have a diagonal pattern for improved traction and ride quality when compared to ladder style. They also come with adjusters to help keep the cables centered on the wheel. I have attached a review video for you.

  • Yes, for the Thule Wingbar Evo roof racks like the part numbers # TH711420, # TH710601, and # TH186029 that you referenced we do have lock kits available with the part # TH450400.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2018 Buick Regal TourX Using 2 Bike Rack and Cargo Carrier
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12173 is only available with a 1-1/4" receiver tube on your 2018 Buick Regal TourX. You can use a Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # C45785 to allow you to still use your 2" hitch mounted accessories. The adapter does reduce the receiver capacity by 50%, which would allow you to carry 175lbs with the Draw-Tite receiver. I recommend using a Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 1-1/4" Trailer Hitches # RM-061-125 to remove the rattle in the adapter to the receiver...

  • Is There a Baby Moon Hub Cap To Fit a 4.80-12 Trailer Tire with 12" Wheel?
  • For a Baby Moon Hubcap # AM90086 you have to have a Conventional style wheel like is found on the Wheel and Tire # AM31241. We do not have any Conventional wheels for the 4.8-12 # AM30670 wheel and tire package you found. The # AM31241 is our smallest size conventional wheel we carry at 175/80D13.

  • Does Malone Cargo12 Roof Box Fit a 2018 Buick Regal TourX
  • The Malone Cargo12 cargo box, part # MPG901, fits most shapes of crossbars so if you have a complete roof rack on your 2018 Buick Regal TourX then it'll likely work for you. It fits crossbars that are between 1 to 3 inches wide and 3/4 to 1-3/8 inches tall. The crossbar spread between the bars needs to be 24 to 28 inches and you want at least 16 inches between the rear bar and the seam of the rear hatch in order to open the hatch without contacting the box. If you don't already have...

  • Roof Rack Fit For 2018 Buick Regal TourX With Flush Side Rails
  • So I checked with every single roof rack manufacturer, and indeed the only option for a roof rack for your 2018 Buick Regal TourX with flush-mounted rails is from Thule. No other manufacturer has one, and in regards to if the fit kit is for any other vehicles, I verified with Thule it is not; it is only a fit for the Regal TourX. So if you'd like to add the Thule roof rack to your 2018 Buick Regal TourX, here's exactly what you'd need: - Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Silver # TH711400...

  • Snow Chain Recommendation For 2018 Buick Regal TourX
  • I took a look at your owners manual and was able to find out if you have 245/45R18 or 245/40R19 size tires on the Buick Regal TourX then they do not recommend using chains at all because of clearance reasons. The chains could damage the brakes, suspension or other vehicle parts. If your Buick has any other tire size they recommend using low profile chains that add no more than 12 mm of thickness to the tire tread and inner sidewall on the front axle. I recommend to use Konig Self-Tensioning,...

  • What is Towing Capacity of 2018 Buick Regal TourX
  • Looks like your 2018 Buick Regal TourX has a towing capacity of 1,000 lbs so you'd need either a smaller trailer or a larger tow vehicle to tow your trailer that weighs 1,600 lbs. The Draw Tite hitch part # 36661 that you referenced is a confirmed fit though and would be a great hitch to use. It's a Class II with more capacity than your vehicle so it would easily handle up to 1,000 lbs. For trailer wiring the kit you'd want is the Curt part # C56389 which is easy to install and very reliable. For...

  • Can Two Thule Hullavators Be Used Together On the Roof of a Vehicle
  • I do have an option for you but Thule has advised in the past against using two Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs part # TH898 together due to both space and weight concerns. The carriers themselves weigh around 40 lbs each so once you add this up with the kayaks you'll likely be over the roof's weight capacity which is usually around 165 lbs. Furthermore, the carriers require 28.5" of space per unit so you'd need a minimum of 57" long crossbars to fit both...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2019 Buick Regal TourX
  • There is a trailer hitch that fits your 2019 Buick Regal TourX but the only options are Class II hitches with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. The hitch I recommend for your '19 Regal TourX is the Curt # C12173 because it does not require fascia trimming to install and like all Curt trailer hitches is made in the U.S.A. I have added a link to the installation instructions of this hitch for you to check out as well.
