Determining Which Bike Racks Are Compatible with Recessed Curt Hitch C12225 on 1998 Buick Regal
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12225 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 1998 Buick Regal but the receiver portion will sit pretty recessed behind the rear bumper. This means when picking out a bike rack it is important to note the bumper clearance dimension for the particular rack you are looking at. This is indicated by the distance from the hitch pin hole on the shank to the closest part of the bike rack. If you already have the hitch installed I recommend taking...

Kayak Carrier and Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2011 Buick Regal
First you will need to start with a roof rack for your 2011 Buick Regal. For that I would recommend the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack that consists of part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK296. Once that is complete an assisted kayak carrier like the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 would be your best choice. This is an assisted, side-loading kayak carrier that would make loading and transporting your kayaks very easy. For the Hullavator system I recommend getting longer bars # RRVA126B-2...

Recommended 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness for 2000 Buick Regal
We definitely carry 4-Way wiring harnesses that you can install on your 2000 Buick Regal for powering a trailer's signal lights, however there aren't any custom plug-in options for this vehicle. To add the needed harness I recommend the Tekonsha 4-Pole Hardwire Kit # 18252. You will just splice this into tail light circuit wires on the Regal using the included quick-splice connectors. A circuit tester is also included so you can quickly identify the correct wires on the vehicle to tap...

Brake Controller Installation on 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe
If you're wanting to tow a trailer equipped with electric brakes using your 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe (and that's what it sounds like), you'll first need to install a 4-pole trailer connector. If your Santa Fe has the factory tow package, use part # C56332. Or, for vehicles without the tow package, use # C56184. Not sure if you have the tow package or not. You'll then need to choose a brake controller. A proportional controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885 would be an excellent...

Exhaust rattling against a trailer hitch is a common occurrence but it is easily fixed. Exhaust pipes and mufflers hang on rubber isolators.

How to Pick Out a Hitch Ball for a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500, Hitch Recommendation
None of the hitch balls we offer are going to have a 6 inch long threaded shank on them. The longest available is 3-3/8 like the part # 63849 that you referenced. If you do not have a hitch on your 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 I think your best option for towing would be to install one. For that I would recommend the Curt Hitch part # 13322. Then to pick out a ball mount to insert into the hitch opening of the hitch you will first need to decide how much rise/drop you need. Check out the...

How to Determine the Wire Functions of a 4-way on a 2002 Buick Regal
Most likely you would just use the black wire in place of the yellow wire, but I would recommend you wire by function that way you know exactly what is going to what. If this 4-way is on the vehicle connector I would use a circuit tester like our part # PTW2993 and test the functions on the 4-way by having a friend apply the different taillight functions and then use the circuit tester to see which wire has power. Check out the video I attached that shows how to do this. Now to test the...

Trailer Hitch Receiver Recommendation for 2011 Buick Regal Towing 850 LB Jetski
I have included a link to all of the hitch options for your 2011 Buick Regal. I personally recommend the Curt, # C12115. This hitch is economical, offers bolt-on installation so no drilling or welding required, and with a capacity of 350 lbs for tongue weight and 3500 lbs for towing, would have sufficient capacity to tow the jetski.

Compatibility of a 2011 Buick Regal to Haul a Powered Scooter
I personally have not seen anyone using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12115 on a 2011 Buick Regal for carrying a power scooter. The Curt receiver being a class 2 only has a 1-1/4" receiver and most of the wheelchair/scooter carriers like the 29x49 Cargo Carrier w/ 60" Ramp # FHG69ZR require a 2" receiver. While there are adapters like # 80303 that will allow for you to use a 2" hitch accessory on a 1-1/4" receiver, they will reduce the capacity by 50%. That would bring the Curt receiver...

Can a Trunk Mount Bike Rack Carry an E-Bike on a 2012 Buick Regal
We do have a solution for you but unfortunately trunk mount bike racks, like the Thule OutWay # TH45JV that you referenced, only have a weight capacity of 33 lbs per bike. Any trunk mount bike rack that has a higher capacity will not be much higher than that, maybe 35 pounds. If you have an e-Bike then you really need to go with a hitch mount bike rack as your bike probably weighs closer to 50 lbs. For your 2012 Buick Regal I recommend installing the Draw-Tite # 36538 which is a Class...

Correct Trailer Hitch for a 2002 Buick Regal
Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12225 is indeed a fit for a 2002 Buick Regal. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver is a custom fit but drilling into the frame is required.
