Yes. The wheel holders on the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # HLY74FR are designed to fit tires up to 5" wide, so they're going to be perfect for your RadWagon 4. view full answer...
You are correct that the only size trailer hitch receiver that fits your 2015 Buick Encore is 1-1/4 inches. In fact, we only have one hitch available for your 2015 Buick Encore is the Curt # C11527. This is a Class I hitch which will limit you to Class I compatible bike racks.
For a rack, I recommend the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Pearl
Item # SH12P. It has an easy tool-free installation and many other great features that you can see on the... view full answer...
If you have narrowed your decision down to two the RockyMounts MonoRail # RKY10007 and the Saris Freedom # SA4412B, I would encourage to take a look at one more, the or theRockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo # RKY87RR.
The Freedom has a very high 8 inch shank rise and the RockyMounts is configured in such a way that the platform the bike will sit on is quite a bit higher than that of the other two racks.
I agree that the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 was a good suggestion because it takes lifting... view full answer...
For your 2014 Buick Encore, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11527. It is a confirmed fit for your vehicle, and I've attached the installation video and instructions to assist. This hitch is a custom fit for 2013-2022 Buick Encore models. view full answer...
Yes. The Curt # C11527 is also a fit for the AWD versions of the 2016 Buick Encore. You've made a good choice with the Curt hitch, since their powder coating tends to be a little bit more durable than the other available hitches for your Encore so it will hold up to some of the nicks in the coating that can occur on these hitches. That's ultimately going to help limit corrosion and make sure that your hitch lasts for as long as it's on your vehicle.

When towing a vehicle on a dolly like the part # RM-2050-1 that you referenced you need the steering wheel to be locked so that around corners the dolly fenders don't hit the door or fender of the vehicle.
If your steering wheel doesn't lock when the key is off you can use your seat belt to lock it. Wrap the seat belt a couple times around the steering wheel and then buckle it in place. Now pull the seat belt all the way out so that as you let it retract it locks. Now your wheel will be locked. view full answer...
Class I hitches are only rated for 2 bikes, even if the carrier could hold more.
As for it not being leveled, that doesn't sound right. I attached a picture of a hitch installed here at etrailer and you can see it does not have a downward slant. I attached the installation manual below and you can watch the attached video as well. I recommend taking it back to the shop to make sure they installed it properly before you put any bike racks on it. view full answer...
Many Buick Encore owners elect to install a hitch receiver, like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C11527, on their vehicle in order to transport their bicycles with a hitch mounted rack. Due to the fact that the owner's manual for your 2013 Buick Encore states that this vehicle is neither designed nor intended to tow a trailer, a towing or tongue weight capacity for your vehicle is not provided.
While many people do it, I cannot recommend going against the owner's manual when it comes... view full answer...
Yes, the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier # TH911XT is confirmed to fit your 2017 Buick Encore. Please note that if any of your bikes does not have a horizontal top tube then you'll need the adapter bar # TH982XT to keep the bike level and gain the best ground clearance.
To add bike and rack locks to this rack you need the Passive Security Strap # TH533 and a cable lock like part # e98891. view full answer...
You can use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # C45785 with the Class I Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11527 on your 2016 Buick Encore but the problem is that the adapter reduces the overall weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50%. This means that this trailer hitch will be able to tow 1,000 lbs and has a tongue weight capacity of 100 lbs. The other thing to note is that you will experience more play in the receiver with the adapter.

We do have hitches available for the 2015 Buick Encore with Class I Curt hitch part # C11527. I did take a look at your owner's manual and there is not a towing capacity listed because Buick does not recommend using this vehicle to tow a trailer because it is not designed to handle the extra weight.
If you still plan on doing some towing, you will need a wiring harness to illuminate the trailer lights with part # 118588 and a 1-1/4" hitch compatible ball mount. You will need to do some... view full answer...
Yes, as long as you have at least 4 inches of crossbar overhang on each side of your 2019 Buick Encore the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898 will work great. The carrier is compatible with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars # RRVA126B-2.
This is a really nice kayak carrier that will greatly reduce the pain and energy it normally takes to load a kayak onto the roof of your Encore and it can secure 1 kayak that's up to 75 pounds. All the needed tie-down straps are included.

In order to determine whether or not you'll have enough room to use the The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH12G on your 2019 Buick Encore you'll need to measure the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole on your Draw-Tite # 36554 hitch to the furthest edge of your bumper. I should also note, using a hitch extender like the Brophy # HES6 reduces the tongue weight of your hitch by 50%- so if your bikes and rack combined weigh more than 150-lbs this is not a good option.

To add a 6-Pin round connector to your vehicle you will need an adapter in addition to the wiring harness that you referenced.
For your 2017 Buick Encore the Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness # C56363 is where you'll need to start. The Next thing that you will need is the 4-Pole to 6-Pole Adapter # A10-6034VP. This will plug right into the 4-Way that you already have installed on your Encore. All you have to do at this point is add the extra wiring using 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 in addition... view full answer...
The Curt Class I hitch # C11527 is rated for 200 lb tongue weight and 2,000 lbs towing, most small utility/motorcycle trailers and one dirt bike would be less than this max range; please reference your trailer and motorcycles weight for an accurate assessment. I highly recommend that you refer to your specific vehicle's owner's manual prior to towing. My research, the online manual I have available (Part No. 84098804 B Second Printing), has a statement on p197 "The vehicle is neither... view full answer...
To determine if you will be able to open up your rear hatch door after installing the Inno Multi Fork Lock Roof Bike Rack # INA392, you'll need to take a quick measurement. With your rear hatch open, measure 52 inches back (toward the rear of the vehicle) from the front edge of the front crossbar on your Enclave. This is the space that will be occupied by the Canyon's rail assembly behind your front crossbar. So, if that measurement does not come into contact with your hatch door, you'll... view full answer...
The highest class rating for a trailer hitch that fits your 2016 Buick Encore is the Class I Curt # C11527 with the 1-1/4" receiver. While this isn't a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver, it will still do a great job at helping you to transport cargo or up to 2 bikes. If you let me know what you're needing the trailer hitch for I can help you choose any other parts you're needing.

The distance the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack, # SH22G, sets from your bumper is dependent in part by the specific hitch you have installed.

From center of hitch pin hole to the closest part of carrier when folded up is 7-1/2". view full answer...
A roof rack does need to be purchased separately for your 2018 Buick Encore to install the Trunx Rooftop Cargo Box # TRX34FR.
The roof rack used in the video is a Rhino-Rack and is truly the best option for a roof rack for your '18 Encore because it is the best value. The Rhino-Rack is the most budget-friendly roof rack that fits your Encore but is still a very high quality so I strongly recommend going this route. The rack will mount to the flush rails on your Buick and is made up of... view full answer...
Yes. Thule, the manufacturer of the Gateway trunk mount bike rack # TH88VR, has done testing and determined that it does fit the 2015 Buick Encore! I have linked a video featuring this bike rack for you.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have linked a... view full answer...
