  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2004 Buick Rendezvous to Carry a 300 Pound Electric Wheelchair
  • The trailer hitches with the highest capacity for your 2004 Buick Rendezvous have 350 pounds of tongue weight capacity. Provided that the combined weight of the scooter and carrier are under 350 pounds the hitches can handle it. I recommend Draw-Tite hitch # 75430. this is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver. Even though the hitch can handle 350 pounds of tongue weight you also have to consider what the vehicle can handle. Depending on how your vehicle is equipped (and how many passenger's...

  • Will the Available Hitches for the 2005 Buick Rendezvous Fit on the 2 Wheel Drive Model
  • All of the hitches we carry, Class II and Class III, for the 2005 Buick Rendezvous (see link) state that they will fit the 2 wheel drive and the all wheel drive models. The tongue weight varies only between the Class II and Class III models, with the Class II models showing 300 pounds tongue weight capacity and the Class III models showing 350 pounds tongue weight capacity. The hitch can be installed on your front wheel drive vehicle and will not affect the rear suspension as long as you...

  • Class III Hitch for 2004 Buick Rendezvous
  • The important thing to consider is that any towing system is only as strong as its lowest rated component. According to my research, the 2004 Rendezvous is rated to tow 2000 pounds, 3500 pounds for the Ultra model. If the hitch with the 5000 pound capacity is indeed the correct one for your vehicle it can certainly be used, but the towing capacity of your Buick will be limited to the 2000 or 3500 lb manufacturer stated towing capacity. We offer several different Class II and III hitches...

  • Replacement Trailer Tires Needed for a Trailer with H78-15-LT Tires
  • Your trailer tires work out roughly to be the same size as a 225/70-15 tire or a 215/80-15 tire. By my calculations the 225/70-15 tire is 27.4 inches tall and 8.9 inches wide and the 215/80-15 tire is 28.6 inches tall and 8.5 inches wide. The LT designation on your tires is for light truck applications and you would be better off using ST (special trailer) tires that are designed for use on trailers. We do not have an exact match to the above mentioned tire sizes but we do have two tire...

  • Will Holes Line Up When Replacing Class l Hitch With Class ll On 2006 Buick Rendezvous
  • I spoke with my contact at Draw-Tite about the hitch you have on your 2006 Buick Rendezvous. They told me if the Class ll hitch you currently have installed is part # 36425, the Class lll Draw-Tite hitch, part # 75430 should line up the same. They told me the only difference is the heavier metal and the receiver opening so you should be good to go.

  • Location of Brake Controller Wiring on 2004 Buick Rainier
  • The tow package on your vehicle does not utilize a plug, you do not need one. The tow package wires are located under the dash, and can be accessed by removing the two screws that hold the trim piece on the bottom edge of the dashboard. Gently lower this trim piece, and you will be able to see the 4 blunt cut wires taped to the main wiring harness on the left. There will be black wire, which would attach to the white wire on the controller, a dark blue wire which attaches to the blue controller...

  • Modifications Necessary for Flat Towing 2003 Buick Rendezvous Behind RV
  • According to my research, the 2003 Buick Rendezvous cannot be flat towed unless a transmission lube pump has been installed. This would hold true for either the FWD or the AWD model. We don't carry transmission lube pumps, but you should be able to find one easily by doing a Google search. The # RM-020 Roadmaster Tracker tow bar you referenced would work, as its 5000 lb capacity is sufficient to tow your Rendezvous. For a base plate, I'd recommend the Roadmaster # 3107-1. This base plate...

  • Optimal Mounting Location for Transmission Cooler on 2006 Buick Rendezvous
  • The best spot to install the transmission cooler is in front of the radiator, where it will get maximum air flow. If necessary it can be mounted behind the radiator, if there is sufficient clearance for installation. Installing the cooler in front of your radiator would almost certainly involve removing the grille and possibly the front fascia under the bumper to improve access. We have an installation video showing a cooler being installed on a different vehicle, watching the video...

  • Weight Capacity of Timbren Suspension Enhancement # TGMRAZT on 2006 Buick Rendezvous
  • The 3000 lb rating for the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System refers to any load carried in the cargo area of the vehicle and applied to the rear axle, not the towing capacity. The only effect that towing would have on the Timbren system would be any tongue weight exerted on the vehicle by the trailer. The tongue weight (or downward force exerted on the trailer ball) would typically be 10 to 15 percent of the weight of the trailer plus the weight of anything loaded on it. If you are...

I have attached an FAQ on how to determine your tongue weight for you to check out. This bike rack does not include a hitch ball, if you need a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball, then I recommend using the Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball Set, # 802B. If you only need...

  • Can a 2003 Buick Rendezvous FWD Be Flat Towed and Are Supplemental Brakes Needed
  • The 2003 Buick Rendezvous can be flat towed without damaging the automatic transmission by installing a transmission lube pump. I do not sell any lube pumps. You should also consult the vehicles owners manual to determine if there are any specific requirements to tow your vehicle. The automatic transmission would need to be in neutral while flat towing the Buick and the ignition key will be turned to the unlocked position to release the steering wheel lock on the vehicle. Roadmaster has...
