  • Correct Ball Mount for a 1995 Buick Riviera
  • I am not sure which draw bar you have, but the recommended draw bar for your vehicle and trailer hitch is the Class II Draw bar 3-1/8 inch Rise, part # 36061. None of the hitches or draw bars we carry have tapered receivers or shanks, so the only thing I can think of is that you have a Class 1 hitch and a Class 2 draw bar which are not compatible with each other even though they have the same 1-1/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch shank. . The Class 2 shank will not fit in a Class 1 hitch, but a class...

  • Parts Needed to Tow Trailer With 2004 Buick Rainier
  • According to the owner's manual of your 2004 Buick Rainier your vehicle can tow a trailer with a maximum weight of 5,500 lbs to 6,700 lbs depending on your engine and if it is 2WD or AWD; you can find this information on page 4-55 of the manual. According to my research a 2005 Jayco Feather Sport has a GVWR of 3,750 lbs so it would seem you would be fine but you will need to verify all information in your respective manuals to make sure. Your Rainier should have a hitch and factory wiring...

  • Is Roadmaster RM-88400 Brake Lite Relay Necessary to Flat Tow 2018 Buick Envision
  • According to Roadmaster, you won't need the # RM-88400 brake light relay for a portable braking system. You will however need a brake lamp switch like # RM-751482 and a 12-v outlet like # RM-9332 if the braking system you choose does't include one. Because Buick recommends that two fuses be pulled for flat towing, I'd also recommend the Roadmaster fusemaster, part # RM76512 which will allow you to bypass those fuses with the flick of a switch instead of needing to locate and pull them...

  • Parts Needed to Add a Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness on a 2016 Buick Enclave

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver, Wiring Harness & Ball Mount for Towing a Trailer With a 2023 Buick Encore GX

  • Does a Trailer Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Require a Light Kit on a 1995 Buick Roadmaster Wagon
  • If the cargo carrier and the cargo loaded on it do not obscure the vehicle tail lights, you do not have to have a light kit installed on the carrier. However, it is still a good idea to get a light kit for safety purposes. Since you have the wagon model of the 1995 Buick Roadmaster, you would first need to install Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # C55352. For cargo carrier, # 63155, you can use light kit # 20174. I have included a link to the installation details for the vehicle wiring...

  • Parts Needed to Convert Trailer to Electric Drum Brake Operation
  • It is possible to have brake flanges welded to an axle that does not have them, but this requires specialized jigs that ensure perfectly correct alignment. Any errors in the orientation of the brake flange can cause all sorts of issues with brake performance and brake wear. This is not a typical DIY kind of project. Often when converting a no-brakes trailer to electric drum brakes it is far easier and often also more cost effective to simply replace the axle with one that includes brake...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2023 Buick Enclave That Has The Best Ground Clearance
  • When it comes to the trailer hitches that we have confirmed for your 2023 Buick Enclave: The Curt Hitch # CU29FR The etrailer Hitch # e56YR The etrailer brand is usually a bit less expensive, but other than it having a different finish than the Curt (matte vs gloss), the hitches are identical. I'd go for the etrailer brand. When it comes to choosing the correct bike rack to haul your two mountain bikes I recommend The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Bike Rack # HR1450Z. This bike rack...

  • Wiring a Third Brake Light on a Camper Shell for a 2005 Ford Ranger
  • If you're needing to power a third brake light that's on a camper shell it will need to be wired into the truck's wiring. Use the Curt Tail Light Converter # C56196 to separate the turn signals from the brake light circuit.

  • Parts Needed to Carry a Motorized Chair with a 2005 Buick LeSabre
  • Out of the available trailer hitch receiver options for your 2005 Buick LeSabre I recommend installing the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36309 which is a Class II with a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver. It does have a Tongue Weight (TW) rating of 300 lbs but you will be limited by the maximum TW rating of your LeSabre. I looked at the online version of your owner's manual and it stated that the max weight capacity of a trailer that your LeSabre can haul is 1,000 lbs and that the TW should...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2013 Buick Enclave Front Wheel Drive
  • To flat tow your 2013 Buick Enclave you're going to need a tow bar, base plates, wiring for the lights, a supplemental braking system for the brakes, and possibly a high-low adapter. I suggest the Blue Ox # BX1708 for a base plate kit. To connect to the RV I like the Avail # BX7420 for a tow bar because of the 10,000 pound weight capacity. The Avail also includes safety cables. To power the lights of the Enclave use the diode kit # RM-154. According to an online owner's manual for a...
