Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2014 Buick Encore
Question:
I want to send you a photo of the back of my vehicle to see if a TH9043 bike carrier will work. thanks! I have a 2014 Encore, and don't have a hitch. I want to purchase a hitch to fit the 9043. What size do I need? Thank you

Expert Reply:
For your 2014 Buick Encore you will first want to start with a hitch that has been confirmed to fit your vehicle. For that you would want the hitch part # C11527.
This hitch has a 1-1/4 inch opening and will work well with the Thule Helium Bike Rack part # TH9043 that you referenced. You will also need the Curt Stabilizer Strap # 18050 when using a bike rack.
