The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Hitch # 75528 installation allows the fascia to be reinstalled on the 2014 Buick Enclave. This hitch is barely visible and looks great on the back of the vehicle. I've attached a photo of the hitch installed on a 2014 Enclave and a video of this hitch being installed so that you can get an idea of what it entails.

You will definitely need a nylon tube brush like # 814092 to clean the weld nuts on your 2014 Enclave. Dirt and road grime can build up over time in these holes on the vehicle frame, which can then harden like concrete over time. Our installers use a spray lubricant penetrating oil and the nylon brush to clean the weld nuts. If you live in area where roads are salted in winter or live near the ocean, you may have to do this several times.

To complete your towing package, you will need a wiring harness, ball mount and a ball. I recommend the Tekonsha # 118270 wiring harness which plugs directly into your vehicle's tow package harness. There is no cutting or splicing required. I've included a video of the wiring harness installation for you to view.

I also recommend the ball mount kit # 989900 which includes 2 drawbars and 2 balls in a handy bag that can be stored in your cargo area. I've attached a video of the wiring harness installation for you to view.

If you plan to carry bikes on the back of your Enclave, I suggest the Thule Hitching Post Pro, # TH934XTR which looks great on the Buick Enclave, folds down for easy storage and tilts to allow access to your cargo area. I've also provided a picture of this rack on the back of a 2013 Enclave.
